#WINNER OF WATTPAD INDIA AWARDS 2021 (MATTERS OF HEART CATEGORY) Veritas is one of the big players in journalism- legacy, history, hard hitting journalists and writers. A family of truth tellers. Anita was born into the same family; raised on facts and logic. And she is aware- a news story needs both. Anita is an ambitious, intelligent journalist- she's keen on maintaining her father's heritage while also creating her own space. Her professors think she's meant to be one of the greats. But too much ego- isn't good thing at 21. And life has a lot to teach you at 21, Anita learns. An accident temporarily cripples her and sends her for "rest and recovery" to England. But Anita is too restless to rest. What ensues- is a troubling twenties cocktail- she falls in love. Its' reckless, its' passionate - and most importantly conceals the truth. Truth telling, no more. When a house of cards falls down- nothing remains. Can Anita find it in herself to build a world of her own when things fall apart? Or will she bow down like many before her? What does it mean for a woman to have a world of her own? And can the modern woman truly have it all? The story that didn't make it to the headlines. ( 59,000 WORDS )

Sleepless nights are the norm for Jennie so she goes back to the quiet provincial town she spent a bit of her childhood in at the recommendation of her doctor. She meets a not-so-familiar, familiar face in town and realizes that maybe sleepless nights aren't that bad at all.
