With You

By: Amanda Waters

Narrated by: Kathy Handrock

Everyone feels stuck now and then, right? At least, that's what Kristen tells herself. The problem is that all her usual tricks for getting out of a funk aren't working. What she needs is a really big change, and as a single woman with a remote career, her options are wide open. So she decides to spend a year in the small town of Riverton where her dad recently relocated. The people in Riverton are warm and welcoming, and Kristen quickly finds herself a part of her new community in ways that she didn't expect.

Kristen also meets Jack, a wonderer who prefers the woods to people, and who hasn't had a second date since high school. When Jack and Kristen meet they're immediately attracted to each other, but they've both been burned in the past and have the high emotional walls to prove it. Despite their hesitations, the two can't seem to stop spending time together. As her year in Riverton draws to a close, Kristen must decide what comes next, and she's torn between old and new. Kristen and Jack are forced to confront their painful pasts, their true feelings for each other, and decide what—if anything—they're willing to do for a chance at love.
