Steven Easton(27) and his niece, Ava(9), just moved up to suburban Iowa from the roughest small town in Alabama. Steven grew up with next to nothing. His mom cared more about alcohol than her kids, and it eventually took her life due to liver cancer. Stacey, Steven's sister robbed a bank about five years ago, causing Steven to take on the responsibility of legally raising Ava. He had taken her in when she was a baby though because he didn't want another child to grow up like he did. Steven reunited with his father last month, and he's trying to process that. The reason why they chose Iowa is because Steven's aunt, Jen, offered him a job at the best middle school in Iowa. He was a well-known teacher in Alabama because he was one of the few teachers who genuinely cared about his students. That was why his aunt had confidence in hiring him. But will he be able to get along with other adults here in Iowa? He was so used to being liked and listened to in Alabama. Is anyone going to notice him here? Everyday a new entry will be produced, walking us through his interesting journey.

Life's Unexpected Turn
When the person you love becomes the one you fear most, survival becomes the only thing that matters. Parker Avery is a creative teacher and talented artist trying to rebuild her life after escaping a past filled with lies, betrayal, and unimaginable abuse. Moving to a new city offers her a chance to breathe again, to rediscover who she is beyond the scars she carries. Bailey Adams is a kindhearted college student who once believed she had the perfect life. But the woman she fell in love with has slowly become someone cruel and dangerous. Trapped in a relationship built on manipulation, fear, and violence, Bailey finds herself losing the person she used to be. When Parker and Bailey's lives unexpectedly cross, neither of them are ready to trust again. Both carry wounds that run deeper than anyone can see, and both fear that happiness may simply be something meant for other people. Yet sometimes healing begins in the most unexpected ways. The question is whether these two broken souls will find the strength to face their pasts and open their hearts... or if the damage done to them will keep them apart forever. _____________________________________________ Please note that the imagery used in my chapters are not 100% mine.
