Innocence & Adolescence is the story of Kate Holloway who is really just a typical girl growing up in the 1960s and 1970s. She has two sisters, a best friend she loves to hang out with, and she's this bookworm that loves to read. But as she grows up, all these things start to change, and you really start to discover who Kate is as a person and as a young lady who's figuring out who she wants to be. The book jumps between these two frames of her life-her teenage days and then her adulthood-and the difference slowly grows until you look at her and say, "Wow. What happened." 
And I think that's the biggest question for all of us. Who are we, and what are we going to become?All Rights Reserved

Life, Love & A Little Coffee by oliviarose85

Graduation is right around the corner for Ada Sinclair. She's spent all of high school saving up for her dream college and skipped high school traditions to keep her grades up for scholarships. When the acceptance letter came in the mail, every ounce of her effort felt worth it. She's spent her life being a small fish in a small pond, but eagerly awaits September so she can spread her wings and move on to big things. When her mother comes home to reveal she is in the early stages of Huntington's Disease, a disease passed down from her own mother, she can't hide from the truth she may be next in line. It is then that her plans and dreams for her future shatter. Nothing is more important to her than her family, people who need her and her strength more than Ada needs her dreams. Not knowing how much time she has left with her mother, she makes the choice to remain at home and has no regrets. Only the fear of uncertainty. Feeling like the world is crashing down on her, Ada turns to the man who's been there for her for the last four years. He'd given her the confidence she needed to become the woman she is now, held her while she cried and has been there through every struggle she's faced. He seems fully willing to be there for her again, even if that means risking his career as a teacher; her teacher. As their friendship grows stronger, they find strength in one another and a connection they can only ignore for so long, a connection that comes with life-changing consequences for them both.
