They met at Rock Springs Country Club and Resort where Allie was working as temporary summer help and Skyler was enjoying her last summer before starting college. Skyler's family owned a lot on the resort and they were known for being one of the wealthiest families in the area. Despite her deep pockets and high social status, Skyler was very conservative with her money and did not see any reason for acting as if she was better than anyone else was. Skyler and Allie were complete opposites who met by chance. They were from two different worlds, but their desires for independence helped them to establish a friendship that would be stronger than any they had known before. Skyler stuck by Allie as she faced the demons of her past, while Allie helped Skyler to realize the life that she deserved to have. The Point was their getaway; it was where they found friendship, love, and the courage to break free.
