Sarah and Eddie meet, hookup and spend 7 days of utter bliss.  They fall madly in love and it is the best of all worlds, this is the one each has been waiting for, this is forever and ever until it isn't.   Eddie goes away on a previously planned trip promising to be in touch then disappears.  Sarah can't figure out what happened.  No word, no call, no text.   It is like Eddie just disappeared off the face of the earth.   Perhaps a dire, terrible truth one that is so awful it goes above and beyond but fate brought them together didn't it?   So why after this wonderful, beautiful, magnificent all encompassing perfect love they have found must it all shatter to the ground?   Try as she might Sarah cannot find out what happened to Eddie, nor where he is, though she does her best to contact his friends both sides of the pond.   Sarah is estranged from her family due to an accident when her sister and her sister's best friend were 12.  It was so terrible, Sarah even moved to the States for a time supplanting her former family with a family of caring new friends.  Life has been a jumble for her and now with Eddie things were at last looking right until they weren't.   Still what they had haunts her thoughts daily and she can't let go despite her friends urging her to move on.   A good story, I recommend this one to middle-schoolers on up.
