Kaleidoscope: An Escape From Reality Novella

Escape into the Beauty of Love Kaleidoscopes are made of many faceted pieces of broken glass. Alice is broken like that glass, and Travis did the shattering. She runs to Escape, Colorado for its healing vibes, the love of her aunts, and a new beginning. She invests everything she has left-time, money, sweat, and tears-into her new venture. She's not counting on a man. This time, Alice picks up her own pieces and becomes the creator of her own vision. With her determination, all things are possible. Yet, it would be so much more like the beauty of a kaleidoscope if she could find the right man to share and support her dreams. Perhaps, she will in the charming town of Escape.
