a collection of vignettes based on a collection of songs

An old piano, a guitar named Nigel, a run away girl and a flame haired singer/songwriter meet unexpectedly in a music shop one chilly December evening.

A little girl's letter to her dad, praying he just might see it.

This is the story of Remmington Costa. A tiny, freckled twelve year old girl with Italian roots and a foggy future. A dark-haired joker of a thirteen year old trying to fit in with her friends. A bold fourteen year old, trying to adjust to her body. A laughing, trusting, sweet fifteen year old with a future to talk about. A taken, happy, sixteen year old in love. And a broken, dark-eyed, seventeen year old who's path ahead has been twisted and changed to the point where it winds up more unclear than it was when she was twelve. Which one doesn't belong? And does it have to do with Benjamin Walker--the sweet-faced, skinny boy in nothing but a towel that Remy met on the first day? Does it have to do with the fact that he's gone? But, this is a story of a girl. This is a coming-of-age story. And we all know how those end right? We'll wait for Remy to finally be that content, experienced eighteen-year-old, the dark-haired beauty who takes her past struggles in stride, knows what she wants and she can get it, and is not loved by all, but loved enough, in the least. We can wait for that, the prophesied ending... But can Remy? How can you wait for something if you're less than sure that it will come? Follow Remy through the light and dark of her six years at Blackburrow Academy. And watch as she spirals deeper and deeper into a hole inside herself, where the only way to climb out is to dig deeper.

"Not just a flavour, but a way of life." When seventeen-year-old Flo Kennedy is forced to up sticks and trade her life in London for a sleepy seaside town on the south coast, she's anything but excited. Walden-on-Sea could win awards for being Britain's dullest town, and with a population consisting almost entirely of over sixties, teenagers are an endangered species. Silently struggling with her parents' death and separation from her sister, Flo's convinced she's in for the worst summer of her life. But when she meets the guy in the ice cream shop, things start to change. It's not long before she lands herself a job, a new set of friends and maybe even the beginnings of first romance. For the first time in several years, she's happy. But Flo knows all too well that things can't stay perfect forever, and after all, being on top of the world only gives you further to fall.

They met in December.
