Jessah Husks has never met her best friends. It's been 7 years of talking online from a due date group they all joined and quickly became best friends. There's not a day that goes by that they don't check up on each other, and if someone doesn't check in, phones are ringing and dinging.
Jessah never had best friends growing up, but these women quickly became who she poured her heart out to. She could always count in them for listening to her rants, saying how dumb she was being, or just being there when her world felt like it was crashing around her.
Through the highs and lows these women are there for each other and when tragedy strikes the moms, it's up to the rest to try to get each other through the worst while being so far away

Violet's Delight
"Well then. That's the first time a girl has ever rejected my close proximity," he said, eyes ablaze with a playful fire. "You better get used to it," I retorted as I spun on my heel and headed for the school doors that led to the outside. "I've never met anyone like you before," he called after me, this time, not coming after me. "I know, Romeo. I'm a special little snowflake," I called back, not turning around. "You got the 'little' part right there, Princess!" he shouted after me. I threw up my middle finger back to him and heard him laugh as I exited out the doors rather dramatically. ... I'm tired of all those high school stories about a straight-A girl student with the perfect life who falls for the stereotypical Mr. Bad Boy who wears leather black jackets and only has a soft spot for her. That's not how the real world works, sweetheart. I may look like a damsel, but I'm never in distress. ... Not me making fun of the "she's not like every other girl" trope <3 o.o :)) I like to think I'm funny. After all: #3 in amusement 10/22/22 #1 in banter 10/31/22 #3 in friendship 11/7/22Complete
*Sigh* That's my Dad
The modern outdoorsman...er...or woman. Such a confusing complicated, yet down to earth person. Some may seem more of a "confused and complicated" person. Whatever category they best fit in. What could have happened in that person's life to ever cause them to go over the edge? This book is a collection of short stories to help shed light on such a person. His victories! His defeats. His most proud moments. And his embarrassing foibles. And of course, his father. Who, at every opportunity, made it his personal mission to embarrass his children. Scare his wife. And of course, take all the credit of doing so in the process. This is my ongoing story. I hope you not only enjoy it, but can relate to those events. To the stories. To the man, the myth, the legend ... Dad. And stay tuned for more!Complete
