Bella is in her first job for a Seattle magazine but her writing career isn't going to plan. In fact, nothing her life is exactly going to plan-including her relationship with Jacob. She's so busy trying to be what other people-and maybe ever she herself-expects that she has trouble dealing with who she actually is. A chance meeting with Edward on the one day she's set aside to be herself starts to change things.

An abusive relationship will make Bella get her second chance, with a second life.

Bella Swan becomes Bella Black and leaves Forks with Jacob to find their own slice of Heaven.  After Jacob’s death, Bella resigns herself to the fact that she has already had her one shot at the ‘happily ever after’ fairytale.  She throws herself into her writing and avoids Forks at all costs until the day when their son asks her if he can spend the summer with Charlie and Billy.  What decision will Bella make when she is presented with the opportunity of a second chance at the love of her life?

The Kings were exactly what she thought she wanted, but I knew my best friend more than what she knew herself sometimes. She may have thought Royce was her fairytale prince, but I knew, deep down, she wanted something more, someone who would love her as my William loved me.

In New Moon, Alice never sees Bella jump because the wolves arrived too late to save Bella in the meadow. Instead, Bella meets Laurent face to face, and what she becomes is something far removed from the Bella Edward knows and loves. He finds her again years later, but can he remind her who he is, but more importantly, who she is?

A father. A daughter. An incurable disease.

When life hands you an impossible path, what can you do other than follow and live through it?

A story about the cruelty of terminal illness, determination and will, and ultimately triumph and inspiration.

Told from Bella's POV.
