After a childhood spent ricocheting through the foster system, fourteen-year-old Maura arrives in the dust-worn town of Dusty Creek, Kansas, with nothing but a guarded heart and a duffel bag full of broken trust. She's been promised safe landings before-none of them held. But Brett Corison, a quiet rancher with eyes like open sky and a past of his own, might just mean it when he says "home."
In a town where silence can be loud and healing comes slow as rain, Maura must learn how to stay when all she's ever known is how to run.
Where the Sky Stays Wide is a poignant, emotionally charged story about chosen family, second chances, and the fierce resilience of a girl who's never been taught how to hope-but might just be ready to try.

Finding light (Free sample)
When the unthinkable happens, nine-year-old Oakley Miller is thrust into a world no child should have to face alone. With her mum in a coma and a trail of buried secrets left behind, Oakley is sent to live with a father she's never met-and four half-brothers who feel more like strangers than family. But Oakley carries more than just a suitcase. She carries the weight of what happened. She carries the truth she's too scared to tell. And she carries a plan-one she wrote herself-to protect the only person who's ever loved her. To survive, Oakley must lie. To protect, she must pretend. To stay safe, she must not let anyone in. Not her new family. Not her social worker. Not even the quiet boy with glasses who sits beside her at lunch. But as more darkness begins to grow around her-and questions start to surface-Oakley begins to wonder: How long can she keep everything hidden? What happens when her story starts to unravel? She's only nine. And the truth? Might be the most dangerous thing of all. For the full story, go visit my Amazon page: https://www.amazon.com/author/gracesmith.authorLengkap

A heart that skips "a bit"
Wren Zaya Miller is all discipline and quiet dreams, a girl who walks with her walls up and her heart hidden behind highlighters and top scores. Lionox Anderson is the storm she never saw coming, charming, sharp, and unpredictable in the way that makes people look twice. They weren't meant to collide. But one hallway accident changes everything. From that moment on, their worlds keep brushing together, through group projects that run too long, side-by-side study sessions that turn into something softer, and phone calls that stretch into the early hours. They don't dare define what's forming between them, but it lingers in the in-between: in lingering stares, in tension-filled teasing and in the strange comfort of always ending up in the same place. Set against the backdrop of Projects, Exams, Varsity games, and the pressure of growing up too soon, A Heart That Skips a Bit follows two teenagers trying to outrun the weight of the world and the ache of everything they can't say out loud. It's about fleeting moments, quiet understanding, and the bravery it takes to care deeply, even when you're not sure what comes next. Told in a blend of present moments and poignant flashbacks, this coming-of-age story explores what it means to succeed, to fall, and to find the courage to feel in a world that expects you to stay strong. Because sometimes, the strongest kind of love is the unspoken one, the kind you keep quiet to protect the label given and the person who means everything.Lengkap
