Four lives. Four stories. Four sets of letters. Four brave souls in need of guidance while facing life's greatest challenges.
The anonymously published Dear Life program is designed to help them step outside of their comfort zones, face their obstacles, and relinquish their demons...and prove their existence.
With their lives teetering between wanting more and losing it all, all four souls dive into the program as a New Year’s resolution, sending them on a crazy, life-altering journey.
Dear Life,
Please be kind.
Yours truly, Hollyn, Jace, Daisy, and Carter.
Dear Life,
Not going to lie, you truly know how to test someone’s will.
As I write this letter, I can’t help but glance over at Jace and notice the
acute pain he’s experiencing. A daughter, the man has a daughter but had to
give her up. How is that fair? It’s not, that’s obvious from the way he could
barely talk about it.
How is it fair that I’m a widow?
That’s not fair either, but there you are, giving us these
amazing gifts like the unconditional love of a man, or the sweet, contagious
love of a daughter, and without warning, you rip them away from us?
Your actions make me cry. Your plans tear me apart. Your
involvement in my sanity is eating me alive.
But, then you do something like today. You bring four
strangers together who know nothing about each other and expose their
brokenness, their common heartbreaks, and give them something to breathe for.
The mutual need for companionship, for understanding.
I know what it’s like to lose someone. I know the emptiness
that slowly erodes your heart. I can help him heal, which in return, will help
me. If this is the first step of letting go, then I’m proud to say that I’m
ready to take that first step.
Sincerely,
Hollyn
About the Author
Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if "It's Raining Men" starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.
Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing... enter her first novel, Caught Looking.
Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!
