Tomorrow's Blues
~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph.

Smile
Once upon a time... That's how all the fairytales begin, right? There's a girl who's mistreated and misunderstood. She meets a guy--probably the most popular guy in school (and hey, why not make him British while we're at it?). He's most likely very handsome and just as rich, and magically seems to understand her. It feels like they've known each other forever when in fact they've actually just met. It's love at first sight, the guy saves the girl from whatever misery she's in, they meet only two or three problems along the way, and then it's happily ever after. But this isn't a fairytale.

HOPE IS A GENTLE FLICKER
"Once upon a time, there was a special child who never aged. To protect it from harm, I hid it within myself, until one day I forgot it was there." What happens when your child is taught to hate you? When Sienna falls in love, she embraces her partner's young daughters, Adele and Nina, with an open heart. But her dream of a happy, blended family is fragile. Unseen by them, a campaign of manipulation has already begun, its goal to poison the girls' hearts against the father they adore. Told from the unique and often silent perspective of a stepmother, this poignant memoir exposes the devastating reality of parental alienation and the profound grief of mourning children who are still alive. Yet, Hope is a Gentle Flicker is ultimately a story of courageous love. It is a testament to getting lost in order to be found anew, and to the unwavering commitment of a father and stepmother who choose to love in the face of rejection, protecting that fragile flicker of hope day after day, year after year, waiting to be a family again. A gripping and emotionally charged story for anyone who believes in the resilience of the human heart.
