“Book Descriptions: Moving on from her tragic childhood and untraditional upbringing, Rowan Chatfield has found a new sense of herself at Laurentide University. Her passion for elephants has led her to follow her dream of becoming a zoologist with plans after graduation beginning in Kenya, Africa.
Ford Halsey is a national champion collegiate athlete with a whole different perspective on life after a paralyzing accident. Ford is from California and Laurentide, Wisconsin is the first stop on the road to following his dreams overseas. As part of the university’s Greek Row annual fundraiser, Ford and Rowan find themselves on a blind date . . . three Februarys in a row. Each year they steal away on their obligatory for charity. Each evening brings them closer together but come midnight real life pushes them apart.
Over the span of three years Ford and Rowan develop more than just a friendship during their three nights out. With less than twenty-four hours together it’s unlikely that the quick friendship they’ve built can sustain a romance after graduation as the strain of distance and the wheels of time keep them apart.” DRIVE
