This is a story I have worked on for many years. A young woman, named Charlotte, leaves her comfortable home in Colorado in order to follow her dreams. She takes the next train into New York City, where she meets her side kick, Eleanor. The two become very close, and Eleanor is by Charlotte's side throughout the story. Charlotte meets the tall, dark, handsome man of her dreams and everything is going great until her mother comes to town. From then on, the mood of the book shifts, and Charlotte is sent on a downwards spiral of emotions, and acts out in more ways then one. During this time, she is resolving issues that had picked at her for years, and though the bring up old wounds, she is moving forward in her recovery.
