It is often said that you never forget your first love. Alanna Anderson isn't interested in remembering, though. She wishes she could forget all the memories that plague her heart. The good times. The bad times. But most of all, she wishes that she could wipe her mind clean of Cris's face. Cris Serrano was Alanna's first love. He was one of Alanna's best friends, and a person that would forever change her life. Growing up in inner city Philadelphia, when times got tough, they banded together until the unevitable happened. Life ripped them apart. Cristobal Serrano doesn't take no for an answer. When he asked the love of his life and high school sweetheart to spend forever with him, he never expected life to deliver him a swift rejection. Alanna was long a girl that Cris had admired as well as loved. Though she looked innocent, Alanna was as strong as they came, facing odds that would have broken down most men. Alanna, in Cris's eyes, was a phoenix. She was someone who could rise from the ashes of a broken life, and come out even more courageous and beautiful than before. But when life delivers a cruel one-two punch to Alanna, will Cris's songbird learn to sing again? This is much more than a love story. The Phoenix is a coming of age tale of a group of teenagers reaching the echelon of adulthood and having to face the consequences of their decisions, and the actions of those around them. The Phoenix is an emotional journey that segways from the early pangs of young love to a tremendous love affair wrought with loyalty, beauty and tragedy.
