Congratulations Aisha! Excerpts from Aisha's Role in the Book...    A Better Pair of Shoes, a novel " Finally, after a half hour of waiting, the Doctor called for me.   I got up slowly hoping to down play my urgent need for the visit."   "Tony and I were happily married!   I was sure of it—so how could I have ended up with this?   It just wasn’t possible.     ... Funny, how when I was way out there, I hadn’t caught a single thing—not even the flu..."     " I found the crumpled piece of paper hiding behind one foot of the bed, and opened it up to Evan’s sloppy writing.  I punched the first three numbers into my cellphone and stopped.  What am I doing ?  I punched in the last four numbers, and I hit talk without another thought."   

Excerpts from Camie's Role in the Book A Better Pair of Shoes, a novel "...This shameful secret was one I had considered many times, but continued to keep.   I also learned it was especially easier when dealing with men.  ... Every now and then, I’d start to feel the emptiness."   "I just needed a little bit of reality.   Not the one I had created and now knew, but the one that waited for me in Tampa where Camie was simply a fictional character.   As I left Miami behind, I felt more and more like a fraud."   "Desperate and furious, I pulled my cellphone from the holder on my waist and speed-dialed Kayla’s number.   I just needed someone to talk to; someone who had some dirt too, and wouldn’t judge me."
