Charlie lost her parents when she was five years old while on their way home from church. She has suffered from survivors gulit ever since. Now she is 19, she wants no part of any church, or anyone else who looks at her with those eyes full of pity she never asked for. While waiting for her sophmore year in college, she starts working for a library to make some extra money. She never counted on the manager, a 41 year old woman who used every opportunity to 'preach the good news of Christ the living God' being so... intresting. Although she's a little odd, especially with her belief, she never pushes them down Charlie's throat. Now she just has to deal with the nosey woman trying to 'introduce' her to some guy she's never met, and the guilt and pain of her parents death after all these years, as well as the fascination with the God her employer seems to have such faith in. Will she let God in, or blame Him for her parents death? And better yet, will the nosey woman with the strange ways be the key to Charlotte Beauclaire forgiving herself? You'll just have to read to find out.

Year of the Chick (book 1 in the "Year of the Chick" series) de romimoondi
31 partes Concluida
[NOTE: This book was written in 2010, a time of long-distance phone cards, weight-loss obsessions, and searching for a man as a solution to life's problems-what a messy time to be alive! In other words, I hope you enjoy this throwback, and while this book does end on a cliffhanger of sorts, the sequel addresses any unanswered questions (which is hopefully fair, given that book 1 is free, ya know?] An awkward family homecoming at Christmas. A humiliating public weigh-in, with two judging parents as the audience. The announcement of a deadline for arranged marriage doom. And that's just the first two chapters. In "Year of the Chick," Romi Narindra must find love before her parents find her a husband. Easy to say, less easy to live through, as this book takes you deep inside "awkward Indian living in the West." To escape her fate, Romi wades through the waters of secret-dating, where self-consciousness is at an all-time high, and experience at an all-time low. It's the sort of thing that would turn almost anyone into a man-crazy freak with romance tunnel-vision, and that's exactly what ends up happening. All the while, a lack of inspiration in her corporate job leads Romi to her love of writing, in what quickly becomes a man-quest play-by-play. From whiskey-breath scum bags to uni-brow creeps and everything in between, Romi and her wingmen come up empty time after time. And that's when she meets a fellow writer. On the Internet. So will it be arranged marriage doom, or an Internet affair that's not as creepy as "To Catch a Predator"? Time will tell in the "year of the chick," a twelve-month quest to find love. Tick-tock. --------------------------------------------- "Year of the Chick" is book one of a series, and book two is available at Amazon! LENGTH: 75,000 words or 285 pages DISCLAIMER: this book contains profanities, blunt accounts of the dating scene, and many awkward family moments. Enjoy!

Her young and quite dashing English teacher Mr. Collins, begins to encourage her by allowing Charly to see things in a different way. A second chance to start over with family and friends.

Making friends all over again isn't easy, especially when Charly realizes her friends are nothing more than high school royalty and queen bee's, but things could get even messier when Charly decides to break up with her popular boyfriend Keith Carlisle and the queen bee's bring up a bet that was once made; that Charly couldn't get Mr. Collins to fall in love with her, just like she can with every other guy.

As she gains an entire new perspective on her life after her memory is wiped clean, Charly realizes who she really cares about and that maybe losing her memory was for the better.
The Coffee Bean de Stracy2
25 partes Concluida
Emmy Lorraine is living her life exactly the way she wants to - owning and running her quaint coffee shop, The Coffee Bean, and enjoying her solitary, peaceful adult life - no strings attached, and certainly no unwanted communication with her pushy, controlling parents. But a recent fling with a man she barely knows has left her in a predicament that she never could have predicted. Pregnant and single, Emmy has to face the biggest hurdle of her life, and when Ben McAllister suddenly comes back into the picture, she really doesn't know how to reconcile her fierce independent nature with her constant, inconvenient attraction to him. Add to the complicated mess the ghost that haunts her coffee shop, and Emmy's life really takes a turn for the confusing. The ghost seems to be trying to communicate with her, but at her failure to grasp its meaning, the haunting becomes more intense, forcing her to reconsider the future of The Coffee Bean - her livelihood. As her relationship with Ben progresses into something she'd never expected, Emmy fights her own natural instincts to back away, to get away from the confusion and chaos inside her heart. But as much as she'd like to think she can handle everything on her own, it's Ben's arms that she really wants to fall into at the end of each day. And as they begin to work together to solve The Coffee Bean's problems, to prepare for a child that neither of them expected to have, they find themselves pushed closer and closer together than either of them had imagined. With the unexpected arrival of Emmy's parents, whom she hasn't spoken to in nearly ten years, comes further complications - questions and anxieties that could break Emmy and Ben apart for good. But the ghost at The Coffee Bean isn't finished with them yet, and as they uncover the meaning of her haunting and communication, they learn more about their own relationship. Emmy might just realize that her heart really can open to Ben more than she'd ever wanted to believe.
