In 1876, Lilly Morris made a promise to her father on his death bed that she would leave New York and go to Montana to live with her Aunt and Uncle on their ranch at only 18 years old. She wanted to stay in New York with her one and only friend Hector, but she could not break a promise to her father. Little did she know that her life would go in a path that she never saw coming when she meets Carter Woods who sweeps her off her feet. But there are so many things in their way that she feels that they may never be happy. What will happen when her family intervenes and tries to separate them?

All eighteen year old Anna Lee wanted was a summer babysitting job. That's exactly what she got when she received a call from someone named Simon requesting a babysitter for his five sons. Who knew that the five boys would be the boy band One Direction? Or that sometimes they'd be babysitting her! (disclaimer: this was written by thirteen-year-old me, don't expect anything fantastic despite the amount of readers)

You know that girl you called fat? She's been starving herself for God knows how long. You know that chick you called emo? She's been battling depression for years. You know that gal you bullied and whenever she would cry you would say "Aww is little Missy going to go cry to her mommy and daddy?" Her parents died a couple years ago and she's still grieving their death. The tiniest thing can hurt a person beyond words, but it can also shed light to a dark tunnel. This is Missy Vega's story about loss, hurt, betrayal and hope.

Alicia has had it. She packs her bags and gets the heck out of her adoptive parents house. Yes, dear readers, our Alicia has run away. To a zoo. Woodland Park Zoo (located in Ballard, Washington) is a place Alicia has always wanted to go. She studied the animals whenever she had time (which was not very often) in Portland, but she needed new scenery. Once she gets to the zoo, she begins to take long detailed notes on the animals there, and then compares them to how wild, uncaptive animals behave. She arived at the perfect time. The day after she got there, she overhears a couple of zookeepers talking. They spoke of a new mammal that has been discovered, and it's coming to the zoo! Alicia is overjoyed. A new animal to study? Fantastic! But what is the mammal is afraid of people? Deathly afraid? And what if this new species is for some reason endangered? Can Alicia help? How can she, though, if she's a stowaway?
