The wooden stairs squeaked as four-year-old Emmy Colasanti, blue eyes sparkling, scrambled up to the second-floor apartment where she lived.Mommy! Mommy! I know who I want to marry when I get older. Oh, and who are you planning to marry, Emmy? Mom asked.Emmy pulled the purple ribbon from her hair, letting her ponytail fall free. He kissed me, so we are going to get married. Does Emmy marry her childhood friend? Does her lifelong friendship with the church-going boy next door develop into romance? How does she reconcile her relationship with the neighborhood bad boy? Emmy’s petite stature, youthful appearance, tomboyish love of sports and deep interest in music set her apart from the other girls as she enters high school. She yearns to fit in, but rejects the popular crowd’s expectations and becomes frustrated by other students who assign her the same unwholesome morals as her older sister. How will she cope with this misconception? And will she learn to cope with her dysfunctional family? The Emmy’s Story series begins when Emmy is four years old and then quickly progresses to focus on her teen years and beyond. In this first book, We Were Posed To Get Married: Emmy’s Story Part 1, Emmy, growing up in the Midwestern city of South Hampshire, gains valuable life experience as she struggles with romance, peer pressure, and ponders her faith in God.
