This is NOT a self-help book.
One month and three days away from turning 34, Misha Gerrick is feeling like her entire life imploded. The process started years ago, in 2014, but after years of staggering through loss after loss and day after day like life just isn't making any sense at all, one big question has started to hit her with one giant blow:
Is this REALLY what life is supposed to be?
This book will be difficult. It will go into some dark and thorny places as Misha digs into her experience and very existence to figure out this project called LIFE, and how to live it.
Someone else might find this process as a useful, painful, maybe even beautiful inroads into thinking some troublesome thoughts about what it all even means, but it is NOT a self-help book.
There is no one way to live life, and this is just about how one person decided to go about finding fulfilment and a sense of joy in the everyday business of living.

The Shadow of Comparison
"Growing up in someone else's shadow taught me one thing: finding myself was the hardest-and most beautiful-journey of all." School was supposed to be easy-a place to learn, laugh, and grow. But for her, it quickly became anything but simple. 🌿 Everyone around her seemed brighter, bolder, better. Every whispered compliment, every small success she didn't have, made her question herself. Slowly, the shadow of comparison began to follow her everywhere. Then college arrived-bigger, more dazzling, and full of surprises she never saw coming. Friendships that challenged her, choices that tested her, and moments that made her heart ache in ways she didn't expect. Could she navigate this new world without losing herself? From quiet school corridors to late-night reflections, from self-doubt to self-discovery, this story is about growing up, facing unexpected twists, and finding the courage to step out of the shadows. If you loved "The Goodbye We Never Said," you'll recognize the familiar struggles and heartfelt moments-and maybe even find yourself rooting for her as she learns to shine in her own light.Complete

Yours Truly, Ramona
Life doesn't abide by the rules of a child. Sixteen-year-old Ramona knows this. She's seen it throughout her entire life, from the way she was treated by her birth parents to the way she was thrown around the foster system with nothing but her little brother, Mason, to hold onto. Every bruised cheek and broken bone has slowly shattered Ramona's trust in the system and any foster parent she's ever met. In the end, it's only Mason she can trust. Her life is dedicated to making his better, and focused solely on sheltering him from the pain of feeling as lonely as she is. That is, until Ramona gets news one day that may just uproot everything she's ever believed about her and Mason's situation. Everything is about change for Mason, all because of a man named Owen Parker. He wants to take the only thing that Ramona has ever truly loved. He wants to adopt her brother, and there is nothing she can do to stop him. Though after years of running and years of pain, Ramona knows just how badly Mason needs a home. It's a breath of fresh air for him, a family filled with love, and everything that Mason has never had. But then, what about Ramona? She's brotherless, parentless, and alone in a city that has never cared about her. She has to find a way to cope, and she has to find a way to forgive the man who took her little boy from her.

Let's blow this place up! * OcxOc (Ginny and Georgie)
Alexandria (Alex) Miller was the daughter of Georgia Miller and the 'twin' sister to Virginia (Ginny) Miller. She had gotten the name Alexandria because that was the name of the town her mom had a one night stand with her father who she didn't really know. You are probably thinking about how Ginny and Alex could be twins when Ginny is black but Alex is Chinese but to answer that question is that Ginny's dad and Georgie had a fight and broke up. Georgie ended up going to a bar where she met Alex's dad and they had a one night stand and a couple of months after that Georgie found out she was having twins but they didn't have the same dad. But the fact that Alex didn't come from Zion (Ginny's dad) Georgia still loved her and made sure she always knew that. Georgia had told Alex's dad but he said that he wasn't ready to be a dad but he did send money, clothes and toys for Alex, so at least he did that right? Now unlike her older twin Ginny, Alex looked up to her mom because Georgia Miller was a smart and beautiful woman who knew how to get what she wanted and always did her best for her kids even if Ginny didn't see that.
