After having grieved over the tragic death of her mother for quite a while, Bella Swan decides that a change of scenery is exactly what she needs right now. So she packs her bags, leaves Phoenix behind, and moves to the small town of Clearwater, OH. There, she was given a one-year appointment as a professor in the American Studies department at the Newcoven College and managed to find a cute little house. It is also there, that she comes face to face with a tall and handsome young man, whose aloofness and apparent disinterest for those around him fascinate her immensely. Bella soon finds out that his name is Edward Cullen and that he is a tenured professor for art. Through talking to the college librarian Angela as well as Edward's sister Alice (who is also Bella's neighbor), the young woman learns that he is on a half-year sabbatical at the moment and has avoided socializing with others due to a traumatic event three years ago. The passionate artist even stopped making art and shys away from family and friends. Bella cannot help but feel drawn to the gorgeous man and is soon overcome with a desire to help him to once again become the person he used to be. But Edward isn't the only one suffering from his past...
I had heard a lot good things about this story but, until recently, never found myself in the right mood to read it. However, now that I've finally done so, I'm incredibly happy. This story is differs immensely from most other TwiFics out there. It is very descriptive and will describe the characters' feelings as well as the world they live in by using wonderful metaphors and colorful language. Edward, in this story, is as human as can be. He is a young man, who isn't exempt from making mistakes and having to learn certain lessons of life the hard way. He and Bella develop a strong connection, probably one of the strongest ever written. They help each other through the mess that is their lives; neither of them being perfect - at all. The supporting characters complete this wonderful fanfiction, which is mostly written from Bella's POV but with some EPOV thrown in here and there. They are one big, amazing family that you cannot help but love to be a part of! Even though it's often angsty and heavy on the emotions, I can only advice you to read this story. It's a true gem!
