When ambitious journalist Leah Whitaker is sent to cover The Six during the recording of their highly anticipated album Aurora, she's determined to uncover the magic-and the mess-behind the music. Amidst the chaos of creative clashes and unspoken tensions, Leah quickly learns that the band's story is as tumultuous as the songs they write. As she digs deeper, a simmering connection with drummer Warren Rojas threatens to blur the line between her professional resolve and personal desires. But it's not just Warren who pulls Leah into the band's orbit-old wounds with frontman Billy Dunne resurface, dragging her into a web of secrets that could shatter everything she's built. In the heart of the studio and under the glare of the spotlight, Leah must decide: is she there to tell their story, or is she about to write her own? Songbird is a tale of ambition, passion, and the fragile harmony between chasing your dreams and finding where you belong.

She thought she was chasing a different future. Instead, she found pieces of herself she didn't know were missing. Across unfamiliar streets, unexpected connections, and choices that refuse to be simple, Spring Again explores what happens when life offers a second chance-not at love, but at becoming the person you were always meant to be.

What I imagine it was/would be like for the Crystal Gems to experience certain things for the first time, then their reaction any other time after that. Gosh, that sounds stupid; but please give it a chance! I'm sure it'll be a bit adorable. //and yes, the cover is my actual art. *cringe*

The God of the mountains is the God of the valley. This was meme that I saw on someone's Facebook status. It spoke to me, but I was in a time of such deep internal conflict that I just didn't recognize the depth of the truth it conveyed. I was contemplating suicide because my life had seemingly fallen apart. My view was obscured by a barrage of poor life choices so, I did not have time for some fortune cookie type of philosophy on someone's social media status. Also, this was shortly after a dark episode where I was on the verge of taking my own life. As I started this incredulous journey of rebuilding my life I met incredible people that have sowed seeds of wisdom into my life. Thus, in writing this book it is my aim to share insights I have received in a way that is grounded and congruent with Christian faith. This is not a book written by someone on the mountain top looking down on you with abject scrutiny, but just another person making his way through the valley on route to the mountain of hope. So, if you feel lost in this valley of despair then I invite you to stroll with me on this journey as I reflect and share insights gained in my own journey. It's not some heroic comeback tale, but rather a transparent reflection of what it takes to rise above negativity and internal conflict that continues to torment those who are in search of that elusive break in life. In this book I reflect learning gained from on good and bad decisions. I try to pull back the veil in a way that makes the experience relatable and also adds value through a God-inspired perspective. I may not have life figured out and that is the beauty of my journey. My boldness to be imperfect and transparent about that truth. This book sets out to encourage all those who feel lost in the valley of despair. It is my sincere hope that this book delivers in it's goal to remind those still in pursuit of their dream of this simple truth - it is possible.

So when distant relatives in Atlantic City offer her a place to stay and a chance to start over, she grabs it with both hands. But life in the States isn't as straightforward as it seems. Her relatives are larger-than-life, deeply rooted in tradition but full of surprises. She soon finds work as a house cleaner for a successful couple with a beautiful family-hard-working, picture-perfect, and polite. Too perfect. Because behind their closed doors, nothing is what it seems. And as Betty uncovers layers of secrets, both in their home and her new one, she starts to realise that the past she thought she'd escaped from might not be done with her yet. Can Betty truly start over? Or will she be dragged under by the scandals, lies, and whispers that haunt the cul-de-sac?

So here I am sitting on our couch in the living room for the last time. Aunt Ri Ri had said I could take anything I wanted to the new house. She'd bought a nice house on the opposite end of town, rather than taking me back to New York as I would be starting my senior year and she didn't want to disrupt my last year. In a way I'd almost wished we COULD go to New York. That way I could reinvent myself. When I mentioned this to Ri Ri she just smiled gently at me. "Sweetie you can reinvent yourself here. All you need to do is get a bit of a make over. Tell you what, how about we head to New York for the summer. We'll get you a brand new look so when you come back to school in the Fall, nobody will recognize you. That way it'll be like starting over!" ******************************************************************************************* Abigail (Abi) Moretti was your typical seventeen year old who lived in a small Pennsylvania town.
