Allison Garrett wanted to attend the best business school in the US, but her chances were looking grim. She’d already turned down two offers because they didn’t offer her enough of a scholarship. It was a gutsy move. One she hoped she wouldn’t regret.

With trembling hands, she opened the long-awaited letter. Her last chance!    

Attending Carlton Ridge University in Marble Springs, Colorado, meant everything to Allie. It was well known for its business program. Her parents didn’t understand, although they should. Her father was a retired military sergeant who didn’t settle for second best in anything she did. And her mom … well, she usually kept the peace.   

On move-in day, Allie tucked her long blond hair under a baseball cap and walked up the stairs to her seventh-floor dorm room with a box in her hand. She met Carrie, her new roommate, and was invited to her first off-campus party by a very nice-looking guy from the floor below.    

What happens next puts her head in a tailspin. For the first time in her life, she’s on her own to make decisions–for good or bad. What she does or doesn’t do is completely up to her.

Will Allie remember her upbringing and the lessons learned in church, or will she give in to her friends’ demands and encouragement to do what she knew was wrong?  

Allie is faced with a Moment of Truth!

Anyway we can inspire our youth to stay pure and not follow the world is a beautiful calling. I hope you keep writing and bless others through your stories! Yours, Lois.
