Synopsis "Easier Said Than Done"
It's the summer of 1981. Soon, we will celebrate Princess Diana's royal wedding, and MTV will launch us into a new music era. However, those events will be mere footnotes in a story that is brewing in a small town in southern Illinois. Laura Hall and Blake Roberts will experience a connection that will turn their worlds upside down. Laura is a recent high school graduate who desires more. Internally, she is juggling peer acceptance, Christian values, her mother's incessant guidance, and stifling loneliness. Blake's interest provides an opportunity to change her life's direction. In order to open her heart to love, Laura will need to unleash her dreams, confront her insecurities, and accept an imperfect attraction. Blake is a college student with a promising future. He is earning a degree at a fine university, plans to get engaged to his high school sweetheart, and is returning to competitive athletics. He is unprepared for the turmoil that an unforeseen relationship will bring during his summer break. Blake's path to new love will challenge his maturity, past choices, and the authenticity of his feelings. With both Laura and Blake narrating this roller coaster romance, you have the front row seat on a ride that pits peace, courage, and allegiance against chaos, cowardice, and infidelity. It's a race against the clock as Laura's Motown innocence collides with Blake's rock 'n' roll recklessness. Their journey will challenge your definition of love and expose the gap between wants and needs. In the end, you will agree that falling in love is easier said than done.
