Description
Everyone has uttered those familiar words, 'Wouldn't It Be Nice...' at sometime in their life. In Kristi Dawn Hurley's Wouldn't It Be Nice...the reader will explore an unusual love story filled with conflict and inner turmoil between the young Chelsea and Nick. The barriers they face are not ones made by disabilities, but doubts. Chelsea is eighteen, about to graduate from high school, has no plans for the future, and asks the question, what's next? Nick is a daredevil whose last stunt went terribly wrong. In a nursing home, surrounded by people four times his age, he is helpless to change his situation. Nick is a quadriplegic. Will Chelsea be able to get through to Nick? Or will misplaced self-sacrifice irrevocably part the loving couple. Wouldn't It Be Nice... tells two love stories, that of Chelsea and Nick and that of God and his children. Hurley weaves a tale of love, doubt, sacrifice, and second chances. She asks her readers, Wouldn't It Be Nice...?
