Hope, courage, desperation, fear... death. In the realities of life, we all suffer from these at some point in our lives. Happy endings are a product of dreams. Living 'happily ever after' only occurs in fairy tales. Riding off into the sunset with your true love is what you would find in romances. Do not look between these pages for those sweet lies. Every tale in this short story collection follows someone who is enduring something dark in their lives. Will a mother be able to be strong for her daughter? Will a Queen manage to bring peace to her people? Can a letter that was sent too late ever reach the one it was meant to? In this debut book, read the previously released short stories: A Daughter's Love and Never Forgotten, along with eleven brand new short stories, poems, and a memoir dedicated to her late father. Also included is a sneak peek to her next upcoming book Green Eyes.
