◆ "Reconstituted" by Deb Elkink

◆ "Forever Mine" by Candace West

Neither of them wants to be friends. Again.

A car accident involving her mom sends Trixie Morgan packing to her hometown of Foggy Knob, North Carolina. She leaves behind an unsigned contract, the fulfillment of a lifelong ambition. Though she once had another dream.

Andrew Byrne wakes up from emergency surgery and discovers he has lost his arm due to a car accident. Even worse, the other driver is Trixie Morgan's mother. Recovery is hard enough without the pain of seeing Trixie every day.

The accident brought them together, but what initially drove them apart was not.

Or was it?

◆ "Spines & Leaves" by Chautona Havig

Books are the strings that tie hearts together.

One man, one store, thousands of books. What'll it take to keep this bookstore from becoming a book ghost town... and what'll it take for Milton to tie two heartstrings together?

These characters each desperately seek a variety of prizes: relationships, hope, fame and fortune, security, eternal youth. All of them struggle through trials and troubles to stumble upon the same amazing answer.
