ABOUT THE AUTHOR:



After completing a master's in Creative Writing and working as a visiting instructor at Miami University in Ohio, Bethany Pierce now lives with her husband in Charlottesville, Virginia, where she is a member of the McGuffey Art Center and continues to write. Her first book, Feeling for Bones, was one of Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2007.



ABOUT THE BOOK



With rejections piling up, she could use just a little inspiration...



Amy Gallagher is an aspiring writer who, after countless rejections, has settled for a career as an English professor in small-town Ohio just to pay the bills. All her dreams suddenly start to unravel as rejections pile up--both from publishers and her boyfriend.



But just as Amy fears her life is stuck in a holding pattern, she meets the mysterious, attractive, and unavailable Eli. She struggles to walk the fine line between friendship and something more with Eli, even as staying true to her faith becomes unexpectedly complicated.



When secrets, tragedy, and poor decisions cause rifts in Amy's relationships, she must come to terms with who she's become, her unrealized aspirations for her life, and the state of her faith. Can she dare to hope that she will find love and fulfillment despite it all?

MY REVIEW:

So an obsession with words in my kind of thing. I LOVE learning new words & this girl, was my kind of girl.
She's a writer, with hopes, dreams, and plenty of rejection. She can't seem to find a loop whole anywhere.
Not even in her family. Her love life also seems to be total rejection. BUT, then perfect, amazing Eli steps in the picture.
And as every girl knows, the amazing, handsome, perfect guys are ALWAYS taken. Am i right ladies? I think so. Anyway,
Amy must choose to follow her heart & do something she never does, or keep on the path she's on. Will the rejection and
unavailable Eli be too much for her and fall apart? Or will she follow her dreams and find out what she's been missing all her life, success, love & acceptance........YOU GOTTA READ! :)

thanks,
Jen!
