Poems and Promises

"How tall are you?" he asks randomly.
I look up at him and narrow my eyes. "Why?"
He shrugs. "Just curious."
"Well, that's a personal question. You don't just ask vertically challenged people how tall they are. That's like me asking you how much you weigh or something."

Bailey Grace Bruskin, miniature teenage emotional tornado. Yep, that's a good way to describe her. She's an animal activist, overly defiant (to some people), and she loves to write poetry. One day, she meets Owen Corazzini when he inadvertently breaks her nose. At least, Bailey says he did, though it might have been mostly her fault.

Bailey, her two best friends Eden and Theo, and newcomer Owen all go on a journey together, finding family, newfound friendships, and maybe even love along the way.
