At 8 years old Cody watched his father leave stating he couldn't do it anymore. He couldn't love his wife Mary, son Cody and disabled son Carl. His football career was over with and he wanted out. Cody hated him and his mother also as she told him to leave and never come back.
He

didn't want to follow in his father's footsteps: football so he helped out with the 4H and raising animals and love the bulls and the riding in the rodeos.
Allie Daniels is a barrel racer and keeps to herself. Her mother is her best friend and nobody knows about her handicap.
She is allergic to a lot of things and so is kept inside a lot of the time. Her sister Anna caught a cold and it escalated til she died 3 days later. Allie has CF and her parents would filter the air she breathed, even when she rode and trained the horses.
She offered him some advice when he had gotten injured and he wasn't sure what to make of it...
Both of their parents hoped their kids would meet someone who could teach them about love.
More health problems but this time for her and she doesn't want to even think of taking a lung from either of her parents and as time runs out she has choices to make: lay low and at home or continue on the rodeo circuit even though it might kill her.
They started to talk once a week and she opened up to him and with their talks his rage was not as severe as it had once been.
Love how the book gets it's title.

Being that Cystic Fibrosis runs in my family, this book struck a deep resounding cord with me. It's a horrible disease and Ali Daniels fights it every day while still pursuing her dream of a national championship in barrel racing, against her doctor's advise. Then she meets bull rider Cody Gunner,

who is fighting his own battles and learns that love if worth so much more than a thousand tomorrows. This book will probably send you in search of tissues, it definitely did me! Wonderful book!

A story of broken families, dealing with rage and grief, healing, forgiveness and all that stuff. The story revolves around two young people, each with their inner demons. One is full of rage because his father left the family when he was a small boy, the other is fighting for her life against

cystic fibrosis.

This is way out of my normal reading genre, but it engaged me to read to the end and even shed a tear or two. If you enjoy light romance and heartfelt stories that make you cry, you will probably enjoy this one.
