An unlikely romance struggles in the face of dueling dreams, from New York Times bestselling author Sally Mandel.

“Mandel has a gift for true and incisive dialogue; she searches her characters probingly and captures them in a phrase precisely. These are people to enjoy and even to love.” – Publisher’s Weekly

Headstrong and beautiful Quinn Mallory makes the impulsive decision to offer herself as the first prize in a college contest. Will Ingraham applies in verse, and wins the prize. Their personalities couldn’t be more different, but a true love blossoms between them that, they believe, will last forever. Until Quinn’s dreams of a career in the big city collide with Will’s longing for a quiet life together in his Idaho home–leaving Quinn to choose between the life she wants and the man she loves, and neither choice feeling like the right one.

“QUINN celebrates life…. A novel full of fresh characters in a timeless setting …. A delightful book to read and reread.” – The Pittsburgh Press
