In 1993, I immigrated to the US with my parents and older sister. Little did I know that besides the challenges of learning a new language, fitting in as a teenager in school, and adapting to a new culture and life, that I would have to do it on one leg.

In this autobiographical novel, I take you through this tumultuous and challenging period in my life.

What was the immigration process like in the 1990s? How did I adapt to my new life and a new environment as a disabled teen? How did I overcome depression, find friends, new passions, and my first love?

Aru just came out with her latest album, the majority breakup and love songs she'd written during and after her most recent relationship, which the media seemed to be having a field day on speculating why they'd broken up. Nobody seems to judge her based on who she is. All she was to the world was another rich and famous singer/songwriter. But Aru runs into a particular someone who chooses to look past all her scars and her fame, and she finds the one person who gets where she's coming from. What starts out as something that isn't as fake as they think it is or will be turns into what couldn't be more real. Will they be able to tolerate what others couldn't together? "I'm a mess, but I'm the mess that you wanted." - Dancing With Our Hands Tied, Taylor Swift okay how was thaaaatttt you guys really loved new years day (if you haven't, go read that now and come back here!) so i really hope you'll like this, it's definitely a different approach! imma set some stuff down here first off, ages! aru is twenty five, aiden is twenty six. rudy and mini are the same age as aru, brynne is the same age as aiden! nikita and sheela are twenty one! second, in the books i know it said that aru isn't a great singer BUT HOWEVER they also did state she was in chorus (lol like me) and also i need you guys to use your ✨imagination✨ and think that she is an amazing singer!! okay now the technical stuff! ALL CHARACTERS THAT I HAVE NOT CREATED MYSELF BELONG TO ROSHANI CHOKSHI! ALL LYRICS AND SONGS I MAY USE IN THIS BOOK BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS! ALL CELEBRITIES MENTIONED ARE REAL PEOPLE, I DID NOT MAKE THEM UP BUT YOU GUYS PROBABLY ALREADY KNEW THAT! and yes, this book is heavily based off of dancing with our hands tied by taylor swift YAY I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU GUYS TO READ THIS!

#1 in Paranormal 15/12/20 and 31/10/2021 #1 in Paranormal Love 13/04/19 and 21/10/2021 Everyone has been told at least one ghost story during their life, but it's up to them to believe it or not. I was part of that group, the sceptics. Always rational, never choosing my heart over my brain. That was it until one life-changing day. We have all heard of ghost stories. Here's mine. ****** Grace Lancaster is a completely normal 17 year-old teenager, except for one little fact. She's been having the same realistic nightmare for the past two years. It's not just a bad dream, it means something and she knows it. But what could that be? Archer Sutcliffe is the answer to all her prayers. However, she will face an inconvenience: He is a ghost. Fire and ice. Light and darkness. Life and death. Sometimes the perfect person for you is who you least expected them to be, and they are the clear example of that. But most importantly: Will they find the answers both of them are looking for?
