All Falling Things was my first book, forthcoming from Scarsdale Publishing. This story looks at the threads of life – how something as simple as bumping into someone on the street can redirect someone down the right path. It is also an homage to one of my favorite stories, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Below, I reveal the official blurb:
She left her perfect life behind. He’s trapped in one he never wanted.
When their worlds collide on a Chicago sidewalk, both will discover that falling apart might be the only way to become whole again.
Alice Hart has always done what was expected—steady job, steady man, steady future. Until one impulsive decision sends her two thousand miles from home, armed with nothing but two suitcases and a stubborn hope that life can be more than “fine.”
Stanley Hoppenworth has the corner office, the tailored suit, and the hollow ache of a man living someone else’s dream. The last thing he needs is a distraction—especially one with blue eyes, wind-tangled hair, and a habit of asking dangerous questions about happiness.
As their chance encounter turns into something real, Alice and Stanley must choose between the safety of who they were and the risk of who they could become. Because love doesn’t just catch you when you fall—it shows you how to land.
