Every little girl dreams of her wedding day, a big flowing gown, a beautiful cake, being surrounded by family and friends, and a man who loves her very much waiting for her at the altar. Christine Wilson is just like every other little girl, and on her wedding day she was the happiest she had ever been, until her special day turned into a nightmare! Christine Wilson has grown up in a fairy tale, two loving parents who would do anything for her, a wonderful home and the ideal boyfriend, William Coleson IV. Her life was that of a princess, at least it was until that fateful day. Now everything she thought she knew turned out to be a lie and she doesn’t feel she can trust anyone anymore. Now Christine has to figure out what to do after the day of her dreams turns out to be a disaster. She runs away as fast and as far as she can, and finds a beautiful beach town in Maine. There she finds friends, a job, and a great guy named Terry, but now that she’s there she has to figure out how to think for herself, make her own decisions and mistakes. Luckily she has a sassy new best friend named April to help her in that department, but will she have to leave her new life behind when her old life comes back to claim her once again and demolish her new found independence? How will she handle the next big challenge thrown at her? Will she stand on her own two feet or fall back into old patterns and let someone else do all the thinking for her? Is she really as strong as she thinks or has it all been one great big illusion?
