Pat Henshaw When Heart Becomes Home

Annotation

Is there a time limit on love and forgiveness?Fifteen years ago, Manny didn't show up to take Wes to the Shelby High School prom as he promised. Instead, Wes found Manny's letter jacket at their meeting spot without a note or any explanation.From college to his current job in Monterey, California, Wes has carted the jacket around as a memento of his teenage love and rejection. This year he decides enough is enough. He's attending the high school class reunion, returning Manny's jacket, and going home free to find the real love of his life.When Manny sees Wes at the reunion tour of the new high school facilities, he's determined not to let his teenage lover leave without them clearing the air and possibly getting back together.Through reunion activities such as a quiz bowl, meet-and-greet meals, and a formal banquet with a prom-like ball as well as outside activities like the quinceanera of Manny's niece, Wes and Manny work through the lies and misunderstandings of the past.With so much to reconcile and forgive on both sides, will they end up together? Or go their separate ways with only memories of the past?
