All Our Broken Pieces

Ginny and Devin have been best friends for most of their lives. They've relied on each other, laughed with each other, kept each other sane.

But now Devin is dead, and Ginny is floundering to find a way to cope with the loss and continue living when the one person she's always relied on is gone. So she does what she's always done. She pours her frustrations into texts to Devin, or at least to Devin's useless phone number. She sends her pain and anger out into the void of cellular data with no hope of response.

Until the day when someone does respond. Ginny knows that this person-this Not-Devin-won't ever replace her best friend, but maybe he can help her heal, or at least give her a reason to smile again.

This is a story about love and grief, about finding happiness even in the darkest spaces, and reaching out for help when we need it. Ginny and Alex's sweet romance is one of empathy and understanding, and will leave you with a sigh of contentment and hope.

Teens, tweens and young adults will all enjoy this look into the deep pain of loss and the light that can be found in understanding. A great, inspirational read for anyone who may feel alone in their pain or who needs a sweet, wholesome, romantic adventure to brighten their day.

I was born in Utah, but I migrated to Arizona, Missouri, and Virginia before settling in Idaho. Though I dabbled in writing throughout school, being an author seemed like an unattainable dream. It took me seven years to write my first book, Just Ella. During that time, I taught myself how to write a novel. Not the most time effective method, but it gave me an education I wouldn’t have received from a class or a how-to book. Something about the struggle of writing without a formula or rules worked for me. I write clean romance because I love it. Jane Eyre is the hero of my youth and taught me that clinging to your convictions will be hard, but it will bring you more genuine happiness than giving in ever can. I love chocolate, Into the Woods, ocean waves, my husband, and my five littles. And I love books that leave me with a sigh of contentment.
