A young girl named Novalee Nation
Seven months pregnant only seventeen
Beautiful, loving, caring, outgoing, and patient
Goes to see the world but is stuck in-between

Left in a Wal-Mart parking lot afraid
On a stormy night she gives birth to a girl
A guy breaks through the window to be her aid
Soon to become her love and get a thrill

He’s a librarian she’s different but a love
That builds stronger each day until he goes away
Off to college to reach his dreams, and moves
While she soon feels lost without him, so she strays

Away to go and find her one true love
Finds him and gets everything she wanted, got a dove.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
