Jamie Ella Trent had led a simple life. She started out in life simple and she ended her life simple. Or so she thought she did. Her life clearly hadn't ended when she thought it did..
She was the daughter of a banker and his shopkeeper wife. She went to school, then college, majored in advertising and joined a firm as quick as you could say 'jam on toast'. She lived the rest of her life in the solitude and peace that came without marriage and children. Her only company were her droopy dog, cunning cat and sprightly young neighbor.
2018 - Jamie is 66. Quite excited with the developments in her social life with a book club, snooker club and poker party 'gang-mas' (what they call themselves) she is living her life. But it all takes a sudden and swift turn, and she doesn't know if that turn is left, right or wrong. An ex-not-so-boyfriend, a crashed car and a piano in a tree are only a part of the whirling roller coaster ride her straightforward life has taken.
Everything eventually has it's effect in the circle of life... Would these moments of her life show Jamie that it doesn't matter how far you think you are in life, it's never done..?
That it's like the clouds that are always moving in a sky full of endless opportunities?

HARMONY
Her father left. The perfect house in the perfect neighborhood. Claire needed her father. Her mother works hard, but hard to keep the neighbors impressed. Then, her dad runs away to be a rock band roadie. Her 4.5 AP Nerdfest brother is accused of raping and murdering a girl with Special Needs. And when she and her best friend go on a runaway road trip--they end up in a truck with sex traders. Claire's world spins out of control--until it doesn't. It is 2008 and In 2008 the whole world changed. And not just because the iphone came out in 2007. It wasn't just the families of the OC Housewives that were living a reality show; so many families seemed to be all about "the house" and not "the home." Sunglasses cost hundreds of dollars and "bags" were thousands. Everything had a label that said you spent a lot of money. People went crazy buying another house, a boat, a Hummer (at 10 miles to the gallon). I distinctly remember two couples, in their late 30s, who were shopping together in Toys R Us. They had a video camera and were discussing the "rules" to this shopping trip. The rules were they had to look into the camera and say what they were buying, for who and why. And the carts had to be overflowing with toys. It was as if they had dreamed their entire lives of doing a "who cares how much it costs" shopping spree at Toys R Us for their children. Just recklessly spending on a bunch of STUFF. That was 2007. And then came 2008. But, more disturbing to me, was the impact it had on families. I think moms and dads lost themselves in providing stuff for their kids and not giving their kids time. And I saw the kids suffer because of it. So, I did a little research and a lot of observing and I wrote a mostly fictional story about an upper-middle class family in the OC. It explores (it simple terms) what was going on in the economy and what teenagers really want from their parents...Complete![Once Upon A Time [2p!Canada x Reader x 1p!Canada]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/76534810-256-k6467.jpg)

Jamie has it all - depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and a hate for her endless acne. With no friends, a distant family, and a nonexistent love-life, Jamie has made it through her twenties by hanging onto her dream of becoming a professional singer. In the past, she was presented with opportunities, but her fear got the best of her. When a unique talent competition can help start her career, Jamie will either try again or move on for good. These days, adulthood can be summed up as a time in a person's life where many questions are asked, and the answers are either N/A or sugar-coated, leaving them to figure it out on their own.

From the author: I wrote this story in hopes of helping readers face their fears, issues, past, etc. Even though life is hard at times, never stop asking questions and never settle for any answer. Your life matters, and you are loved more than you know. I hope you read this story to the very end. Thank you!Complete
