Charlotte Hannigan and Elliot McIntyre had been in love with each other since they were nine and had met during unlikely circumstances. Now it’s 1941 and they couldn’t be more in love. Between the swing dancing, Frank Sinatra, and their undeniable love for each other, Charlotte and Elliot’s lives couldn’t be better. That is until Elliot decides he has been given a duty to serve his country, and enlists in the air corps. Now Charlotte must live with the idea that the man she loves may never come home and is constantly reminded by her condescending “friend” Francine Monroe, what an idiot she was for falling in love with him.
Charlotte perseveres and she and Elliot keep in touch through letters and day dreams. The only problem is, Elliot’s best friend Donny Jacobs is hiding a secret that just may ruin the love that they have for each other. After Charlotte's father is suspected of murder and Donny's little girl goes missing, Donny threatens to share this devastating truth. Oh and lets not forget the day that changed history forever. Pearl Harbor. This threatens Elliot and Donny’s lives and causes untimely peril for hundreds of others, while Charlotte is waiting unaware, in anticipation. Find out if Charlotte and Elliot can hold on through the storm in my first novel, Life Happens-1941.

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included.

After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be.
