After slowly dropping her walls and letting others into her life, she begins to learn the harsh realities of the real world...love isn't always enough, secrets destroy, monsters are real, and the hardest one of all--things aren't always what they seem.
One urban definition of a soulmate “like a best friend but more. It's the one person in the world that knows you better than anyone else. It's someone who inspires you to become a better person. A soulmate is someone who you carry with you forever. It's the one person who knew you, and accepted you, and believed in you before anyone else did or when no one else would. And no matter what happens...you'll always love them.”
Amanda Benoit had what every little girl wants…a loving family. Then one day, it all changes and she finds herself struggling to earn her place. In her home. With her family. Within her small town in Louisiana. In order to protect herself from her new reality, she begins to retreat further and further away. An avid reader, books become her refuge and the characters become her family and friends. She especially loves to read the happily ever after’s, as she afraid she will never have her own. After all, if her own family doesn’t even love her anymore, why would a perfect stranger?

Could her fairy tale be coming true? Call it fate. Call it destiny. Call it a chance meeting. All Amanda knows is at the young age of 16, she has met her soulmate. She can feel it from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet. There’s no way to explain this--it just feels right. The longer she looks into those eyes, the deeper she falls. Pretty soon, she is surrounded by a rag-tag group who soon becomes her new “family”. With their help, she is emerging out of the shadows, where she’s been hiding for so long, and is on the road to finding herself.

Losing my heart
​
Welcome to a world where not all fairy tales end with a "happily ever after". This is book two in the series and life has just become very real. She’s already learned a harsh lesson about love. What’s next? Secrets destroy? Monsters are real? Or the hardest one of all--things aren't always what they seem?
“Heartbroken is defined as sickness in your stomach and a knot in your throat. It’s the loss of someone you love. It feels like you lost a part of who you are. You think about how they have forgotten about you... How could it have been so easy for them? How could they have said they cared about you but moved on so effortlessly?
My name is Amanda Benoit and for an entire year I had it all. I was moving forward and life was normal for the first time in a long time. But I should’ve known it was all too good to be true. I left for me. I stayed for them. They promised they would always be there for me. They assured I would always have a place with them. But one by one they lied. One by one they betrayed me.
Instead of being pushed back into the shadows where I’m simply invisible, I feel like I’ve been replaced. No—erased. No—completed annihilated from their lives. Until there’s only one person left standing by my side. Hearing of her betrayal is more than I can take. She promised to always be there. She’s the only “family” I have left. What will I do without her? Losing my home will be hard. The one thing I may not survive is losing my heart.

Have you done things that you're ashamed of? How far would you be willing to go to rewrite your past?
Only twenty-three years old, Solange Hebert has seen and done things which most people can't even comprehend. Alone and homeless, she's on the verge of giving up when fate steps in and offers her a helping hand in the form of two strangers, Christopher and Anne-Marie. Figuring she has nothing to lose, she accepts the offer from Christopher LeBlanc to save her life. His only condition, to get clean and remain clean, which will most certainly be challenging, but the alternative is inconceivable.
Anne-Marie Bonvillian offers to save her soul and the instructions seem almost too easy...simply write a letter and apologize to all the people she has wronged. Solange knows this process will be painful as her past actions are the driving force behind her self-destruction. With a roof over her head, a job, and a new outlook on life, Solange begins to deal with her personal demons. Soon, she is questioning herself when her recollection of certain events contradicts with other people's memories. Could her new life simply be a dream or is there something else happening? The answer to that question leads her down a road of divination and enchantment where she wonders if she's been re-writing her past, one apology letter at a time.
