Likewise, the poems in this audiobook mark my walk of life and should be listened to in order to keep my soul alive and help me find my way.

She smiled. "It sounds like a service dog could be great for you."

It was just another Saturday at the bookstore when Dalton Deangelo, the famous actor, came running in to hide from the press. We clicked instantly.

I didn’t have a date for my cousin’s wedding, so he asked if he could tag along. I figured why not? I was just a regular, curvy girl who ran a bookstore, not a perfectly trim actress.
