The house on Briar Hill Road

"Sometimes we're lucky enough to be born into our family. Sometimes we're not and have to go out in the world and find them. Hayden MacNulty found her "real" family just down Briar Hill road, a few houses away from her own, while trick-or-treating when she was eight. She fell a little in love with twelve-year-old Brian Conway that very night. Time and tragedy tests their love over the years but Brian and Hayden discover that love can take a few hard knocks and still bloom."@en
"Home isn't a place--it's a feelingBrian Conway is Hayden MacNulty's hero from the start. One Halloween, she knocks on his door, and before long, her puppy love turns serious. His mother, Kathleen, welcomes her with open arms. Brian's house, with its neat shutters and window boxes, isn't just a home. It's family. As the years pass and life pulls them in different directions, Brian remains Hayden's touchstone, her best friend. So how is it that they never seem to get it right when they're together' Not even the child they bring into the world can persuade Hayden to accept Brian's proposals. But a life-altering challenge can change almost anything, and in one special moment Hayden knows it's time to say, 'I do.'"@en
