The Love Inside

Ann Marie Burgess was born in the nineteenth century when most parents felt uncomfortable or ill equipped to discuss intimacy with their daughters. Girls were told half-truths about how to conduct themselves with boys, not how to control their raging hormones. Fear of motherhood was the determent of becoming intimate. Ann was a rambunctious, inquisitive child which intensified as she grew older. Accidentally, she met a tall, handsome young man named Jeremy Jerome Johnson who happened to be the brother of one of her three best friends. First, they became friends. Then fell in love. Ann felt comfortable enough to share her feelings about intimacy which Jeremy respected. However, during their four years of high school Ann was totally unaware and naive about how her affectionate attention affected Jeremy. Ultimately both Ann and Jeremy paid a terrible price.
