Anna is a fifteen year old girl with a tendency to contemplate the everlasting questions of life and death. Why?
Because she's dying.
An artist, with a hamster named Sisyphus and a mother who is a gardener, becomes stronger friends with her best friend since second grade during an arm-drawing-with-crayola-markers excursion.
But there is a climax.
Her mom's boyfriend, the Dutch Tulip Man, also known as The Dutchman, is under suspicion of being a con-man. Will Anna and Alex ever find out if he really is what he says he is, or will the story take a turn for the worst?

"Your hair is full of snow," He chuckled as he looked at her, reaching out to push a strand of hair behind her ear. Some snow successfully fell off her, but he didn't withdraw his hand. He cupped her cheek, wiping away a few snowflakes from it. She was frozen, staring at him like a deer caught in headlights, her heart pounding in her chest. Then, raising his other hand, he cupped her cheeks fully. His eyes began to trace every inch of her face; her eyes, her cheeks, her nose, before his gaze dropped to her lips.

Yours Sincerely, Clumsy
"I don't do clichés and I don't want my story to be one. So tell me now, Gucci boy. What do you want?" "Help." Katherine Waetford used to have only one issue associated with the multi-coloured image that is her life, and that is an extraordinary case of Coordination Deficiency Syndrome; a.k.a. probably clumsy. There is nothing on the planet and beyond that can save her feet from tripping, elbows from connecting with painful edges, hair from flirting with places it shouldn't (and resulting in instant hair loss). She is a reckless force incapable of exhibiting enough self-care to last a day without bruises but... It is only one drawback though; why complain? Then a second problem by the name of Zachary McHottie Brymer enters her life. • disclaimer • created: 27th March, 2020 completed: 25th May, 2020 scheduled for a rewrite soon + sequel posted on another site!Complete![[hero, the hard way]↣ p. parker | t.s daughter](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/191317079-256-k832359.jpg)

To the moon and back
When life is falling apart for 17-year-old Nigel, college rejections, family pressures, and a sister's mysterious illness, he has no idea that a chance meeting with the enigmatic Annika will challenge everything he thought he knew about love, destiny, and what it means to fight for those you cherish. But when his sister's diagnosis turns life upside down, and Annika reveals secrets of her own, Nigel must face a reality heavier than anything he imagined. As tragedy and miracles dance hand in hand, To the Moon and Back becomes a powerful journey of loss, healing, and the unexpected ways that people come into our lives at exactly the right moment. Heartfelt, humorous, and hauntingly relatable, this is a story about the deep pull of family, the sting of what we can't control, and the courage to believe in second chances, even when the odds are against us. For readers who love the emotional depth of Nicholas Sparks and the raw authenticity of John Green, this novel will stay with you long after the final page. ---To My Readers - A Letter from the Heart--- I wrote To the Moon and Back in memory of my young sister, who passed away from cancer in 2013. She was only 14, full of dreams, laughter, and a light that never dimmed, even in her final days. This story is my way of keeping her spirit alive, of reaching for the stars she never got to touch, and of giving voice to the love that still echoes in my heart. Today, I'm proud and emotional to say the novel is complete. Every chapter carries a piece of her. Every line is stitched with the hope, pain, and beauty of what it means to love deeply and lose too soon. I poured my soul into this book, and I hope you feel that in every word. Thank you for walking this journey with me. For reading, reacting, and believing in this story. It's more than fiction - it's a tribute. And now, it's yours. With love, Justin J. JonesComplete
