There were moments of lust, longing, resentment, fear, abandonment, distrust and guilt. They shared the type of passion very few love affairs do. Jenniferas passion was Ryan. Ryanas passion was alcohol. As their relationship grew, so did Ryanas addiction and Jenniferas futile attempts to save him from not only his disease, but from himself. Can Ryan stay sober? Can a love last through the pain of the past and the uncertainty of the future? And to what lengths would someone go to prove their love?
