The scar is just another painful reminder of the fact that I am now motherless, fatherless and aside from my grandmother, alone.
I need to grieve, I need to feel the pain, and I need to get it out of the way so I can deal with whatever other obstacles come my way.

Having recently completed her Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Development, Kelly suddenly found herself with a bit more free time than usual, and began her immediately successful foray into blogging and Freelance Writing, which subsequently led to her renewed desire to finally put her ideas and imaginings “on paper.”
Focusing primarily on the Young Adult genre, Kelly has recently finished and her first novel, Finding Me, which is set to be published in early 2019 by Swoon Romance.
She currently resides in her original home town with her husband, their two daughters, and a few cats that constantly challenge the sanity of all with their ill-advised attempts at what can only be assumed to be world domination.
Review of Finding Me
Review (4 Stars): I really enjoyed this story and it shows that you can find love after experiencing tragedy even in the most unexpected place. Claire was a sweet character that was trying to pick up the pieces of her life after a horrible car accident left her paralyzed and took the life of her mother. When her dad decides to start a new life without her, she moves in with her grandmother where things slowly begin to change. New friends, new school and new challenges show Claire that she can move on especially after meeting Todd, the son of the man who was involved in the car accident. As feelings grow between these two, her dad comes back in her life wanting to take her away from the things that started to feel like home. Will Claire finally have her happy ending after everything she has been through?
This book was sweet and I liked how Claire was trying to make the best of her current situation. She had been through a lot and was able to make peace with everything that had happened in her life. Todd and her grandmother was exactly what she needed and sometimes love will find you no matter what. Great story.
