READ OVER THE WEEKEND. THIS EXCERPT REALLY HIT CLOSE TO HOME. YEAH...BEEN THERE, FELT THAT.
The tears are so close to the surface but there's no one to call, no one to tell. I’ve spent too much time trying to be okay; I don’t know how to ask for help. (pg 207)
About the Book:
The Frog Prince
By Jane Porter
Holly Bishop is the proverbial, small-town good girl. She always follows the rules, thinks of others first, and she never, ever makes mistakes. Until she marries the man she thought was her Prince Charming, who confesses on their honeymoon that he's not sexually attracted to her. Now, 14 months after, Holly's marriage is in the toilet, along with her self-esteem. Determined to start over, she moves to San Francisco, where she must navigate the landmines of dating in the big city. In the shadow of the Golden Gate and amid a population of wacky Bay Area eccentrics, Holly will discover that nice girls don't always finish last. In fact, they sometimes end up with everything they'd ever wanted.

You can feel her pain. I like Jane Porter's contemporaries.

Boy do I know that feeling. I'll have to check this book out. Thanks for stopping by Calico Contemplations.
Shelley: Yes, you can and this book was filled with emotion. It really had me worked up this weekend.
Aimee: Thank you. This book was recommended by a friend who sent me other books by Jane Porter.
Jana: Kind of hits close to home, doesn't it?
Calico: I think it's a feeling many can identify with, especially anyone who has experienced great change or loss.
I never need help with crying. I can do it on my own. :)
Alice: Yeah, I usually don't need any help crying, either. What can I say, I'm a Pisces. We are known for being over-emotional.
OMG! I thought this sounded really good...and what a sad teaser; then I saw it was by Jane Porter, so now it's going on my TBR list! Thanks for sharing.
