At thirty years old, Cassie Nolan feels like life has already left her behind. With nothing but a short-lived receptionist job on her résumé and a GED prep book as her only companion, she spends her days in the back corner of the public library, trying to catch up on an education she abandoned long ago.
Haunted by regret, burdened with family obligations, and living paycheck to paycheck, Cassie thinks starting over might be impossible-until a flyer on a bulletin board leads her to a free tutoring class and a small, unlikely group of adults who are also trying to rewrite their stories.
As Cassie pushes past self-doubt and rediscovers a spark of ambition, she must confront the life she's known, the dreams she buried, and the quiet strength she never realized she had.
The Light Above the Aisle is a heartfelt portrait of resilience, late bloomers, and the courage it takes to begin again-no matter how many times you've fallen behind.

Before the Light: Luna's Journey
Two diaries hold the secrets of Luna and Zane, two souls whose lives are about to collide in unexpected ways. Luna's just your average 18-year-old girl trying to make sense of life in a small Italian town, hanging out with her boyfriend Marco and best friends Emily and Jessica. But as high school drama unfolds, her perfect little world starts falling apart faster than you can say 'page-turner.' What she thought was true love with Marco quickly takes a nosedive as school bullying and tangled secrets push them apart. And just when things couldn't get any more complicated, a classic enemies-to-lovers twist enters the scene, flipping Luna's world upside down. Her seemingly picture-perfect parents are dealing with their own mess, throwing Luna into a whirlwind of self-discovery. Old childhood traumas she thought she'd buried begin creeping back in, making her question the happiness she built like a fragile house of cards. Just when she thinks she's got a grip on it all, everything shatters, leading to a tragedy that leaves her feeling utterly lost. That's when she starts leaning into rebellion and finds a strange camaraderie in one of her former foes, her unexpected lifeline. This isn't just a love story; it's a wild journey through the ups and downs of growing up, where you learn that life can be messy, dark, and downright heartbreaking. With all the twists, secrets, and emotional turmoil, get ready for a ride that'll make you feel every bit of Luna's struggles. 'Before the Light' digs deep into the bittersweet transition from innocence to experience, proving that sometimes you have to dive into the darkness to find your light. Can Luna rise from her past, or will she get sucked into the shadows? Join her as she navigates her way from sunny Italy to the bustling streets of New York City, where her story continues to unfold in the second book of the trilogy 'Luna's Crossroads.'Lengkap

Long overdue
"Do others also have a crush they obsess over for four years, even when he completely ignores them? Probably not... at least not if they're sane." Natalie is thrilled to finally leave high school behind and start a new chapter in her life. She promises herself she won't be the same dumb teenager, obsessing over boys-specifically, one tall basketball player who never even spared her a glance. What began as an intense crush had slowly twisted into self-doubt and resentment over the years, as each ignored glance chipped away at her confidence. Now, she vows to cherish herself more, to be confident, and to never change for anyone else's approval. But what happens when the same guy she grew to hate, after four years of trying and failing to get his attention, ends up at the same university and, for the first time, calls her name?

Planning to move out of town after graduating to start a new life and heal from recent events, Nova is dedicating this year to staying on track, even if it means avoiding as much social interaction as possible and staying out of the way.

You Are the Shell to My Tortoise | ✓
Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.
