Hayley later realizes it wasn''t a typical summer romance, especially for an innocent teenage girl.

Hayley''s been accepted at the University of Oregon and plans a career of teaching Down syndrome and autistic children. Her Christian parents own the inn where the wealthy Wentworth family has checked in for the summer. The younger son, Chase, is a bored, perpetual playboy.

Chase targets Hayley, wooing her with gifts and words of love. Naive Hayley falls hopelessly in love with Chase and doesn''t realize she''s only a summer diversion until it''s too late. The unfortunate romance, producing a child, has turned all her dreams upside down. She''s now ashamed, shunned by her father, and turns from God.
