When the lines are drawn, will you risk your life to cross them for love?

In the Summer of 1988, tragedy hits home for Charlene Jacobson and her father when her little brother is killed playing a game of basketball in their Detroit housing projects.  She soon finds herself living in the small rural town of Millersville, Georgia, with her estranged grandmother. Millersville is a place where time stands still and the racial divide is as prevalent as the 1950s.  Secrets, lies, and betrayal lurk in every corner. Yet, through it all she finds solace in the arms of Ryan Quinn, a white senior track star and the son of the town Sherriff.  

Will their love cross the finish line?  

EDIT:  Crossing the Finish line has been removed from this site and a revised version with added new content has been published on Amazon Kindle Vella (as of November 2022) under the penname, Shelly B Williams. To those of you who have left reviews, added me to your Favorite Authors and Story Alerts, and helped to make CTFL one of the Top Ten Most Favorited Stories on Valent Chamber, I trully appreciate all the support you have shown me over the years. I hope you will continue to support me as I begin the next phase of my journey as a published author. I couldn't  have done this without you.

Summary:

 

Hello again my Chamber friends I appreciate the opinions that were posted here and the ones that were personally sent to me. I have decided that I will keep the names the same and the story of Kayla and Tyler as well, but I think I’m going to polish it up a little bit without changing the story line. As for the new characters I have decided to let this be an independent story and this will be the first chapter into the world of Kaila, Jordan and Canada with a few changes starting with where it takes place and a few other little things. I will be reposting this first chapter when i have it redone so please be looking out for it, and again thank you all so much for your input.
