That Boy From Trash Town - Billie Green

Silhouette - Special Edition

Whitney Grant of the elite Boston Harcourts and Dean Russell, a boy from trash town form an unlikely bond in order to escape their growning pains. Even years later, after Whitney had graduated with a degree in Art History, and Dean had become a lawyer, they maintained their unlikely friendship. Or rather, their friendship had grown into love, with Whitney accepting the fact, and Dean nearly unaware of it and fighting his feelings tooth and nail...

Things come to a head when Whitney accidentally discovers that her father, Lloyd Grant,whom she had thought dead, and had mourned for years, was actually alive! Whitney, who rushes off to tell Dean her news, catches him at a vulnerable moment. Reluctant to acknowledge his feelings for her, Dean panics and tells off Whitney......that proverbial straw that broke the Camel's back.....!

Whitney decides to go in search of her father. She finds her father and establishes a friendship with him as Mary White. Dean follows her, offering the excuse that after all the years together, he felt responsible for her fate. Inadvertently, Dean lets the cat out of the bag, and Lloyd finds out that Mary is actually his daughter Whitney.

All is well in Whitney's world except for the fact that Dean still does not think that the boy from trash town has any future with his Whitney. Lloyd also seconds his opinion by citing his own marriage as an example.Whitney tells both the special men in her life that she had what it took to be loyal and steadfast in any adverse conditions. Happily, Dean was finally ready to face his own fears and was convinced..

Anyway, he had already found out from his few days without Whitney that his life was not the same without her....and if the boy from trash town could become an afflent lawyer, it did indicate that he was no fool!! .............And so, they lived happily ever after.......
