This is not a simple story of first loves, this is an emotional yet touching look at life and how the smallest decisions can shape futures. What you think you know can change before your eyes. Fathers abuse, mothers deceive, best friends betray, sisters dismiss, love controls, and anger consumes. After graduating from high school, Easton Grace knows exactly what he wants and how to get it. His goal for the summer includes two things: avoiding his father's wrath and protecting his sister. His carefully laid plans are quickly changed when a girl comes to town causing him to lose his tight grasp of control on everything, including himself. Following years of sorrow, Taylor Monaco returns to a town she never wanted to see again but will forever call home. Her life was eternally changed by the people in this town, especially one boy. Her heart desires someone she's not sure her soul can handle. Can Easton and Taylor find their path before it's too late - before the storm? Note: Before the Storm is a prequel to Haven from the Storm but may be read in any order.
