Ava Lawton can't believe her losing streak. This was supposed to be the most exciting time of her life: new to college, living in a new state, with a new job, and very far from her family and past. But when she has to leave her job, everything falls apart pretty quickly. Suddenly, she is alone in the world and has no one to help her. Just when she's at her wits' end, a stranger hands her a note that gives her hope. Now it's time to choose your own path in life. It's time to be happy. And maybe it's time for a wonderful stranger to become a part of her life.
