My Rib

Book excerpt: Starting over is always difficult. Starting over in a foreign city without family and friends is even more difficult. Add the ever-arrogant Eli to the mix, and then it's just a field day. In hell! My mantra is to stay the hell away from him and disappear from his life as soon as I can, preferably in the middle of the night, leaving a handwritten good-bye on a sticky note. My name is Sarah, and this is my story of how life has a way of screwing up the best-laid plans. What do you do when the woman you promised to marry and spend the rest of your life with is not what your heart wants anymore? And what do you do when the one your heart wants, wants nothing to do with you? Just when I thought I had it all figured out, destiny threw a monkey wrench into my simple equation of a life. Sarah came into my life like a tsunami, knocked me down senseless, and turned my world upside down. I am still not sure if I am permanently oxygen deficient or if she just has the effect of leaving me panting and breathless. My name is Elijah, and this is the story of how love makes us crazy.
