Something is missing…can Chet find a woman he could let himself love? Can he take the chance on something his childhood has shown him won’t work, something that could mess up the peace he’s found at Sunrise Ranch? Sunset Ranch, a foster home to many boys like Chet Grall had been and always would be the place he now calls home. Grown, he’s remained on the ranch as the top ranch hand to the McDermott brothers—his brothers here where his new life began. But after watching all three of them marry there’s a hollow spot inside him, a spot he’s trying to ignore. April Mallory lives a life all to herself. A much-loved fiction writer—under a pen name, no one knows who she is or her real name. Her entire life has been lived in hiding and now, though there is no longer a need to hide, she has remained a person who keeps to herself. But now, she’s come to Dew Drop, Texas to meet Mabel, a reader whose letter to April—actually to her writing name has intrigued April. Not that she will reveal to the Inn owner who she is, but she couldn’t help but come check out the Sunrise Ranch, the home for foster kids that Mabel has written to her about. She’s here for research, nothing more, but she isn’t counting on a flood, getting swept away and being rescued by a cowboy—a cowboy who immediately took her breath away and made her heart pound like never, ever has it done before. She’ll keep her secrets and then move on…but can she? Mable had been right when she’d said meeting the boys at Sunrise Ranch would be life changing because Chet is one of those foster boys, he’s just all grown up and the stunning cowboy has put her world into an undeniable spin. Can she overcome her past and let love take over? Will the boys and ladies of Dew Drop help make another match of hearts?

“Whitney Cummings has written a book about being, well, not fine—and what to do when you find yourself with brutal anxiety and a co-dependency disorder; all in her trademark wit, humor, and honesty. This book, however, is fine as hell.”—Sophia Amoruso, author of #Girlboss “The funniest cry for help you'll read this year.”—BJ Novak Well, well, well. Look at you, ogling my book page....I presume if you’re reading this it means you either need more encouragement to buy it or we used to date and you’re trying to figure out if you should sue me or not. Here are all the stories and mistakes I’ve made that were way too embarrassing to tell on stage in front of an actual audience; but thanks to not-so-modern technology, you can read about them here so I don’t have to risk having your judgmental eye contact crush my self-esteem. This book contains some delicious schadenfreude in which I recall such humiliating debacles as breaking my shoulder while trying to impress a guy, coming very close to spending my life in a Guatemalan prison, and having my lacerated ear sewn back on by a deaf guy after losing it in a torrid love affair. In addition to hoarding mortifying situations that’ll make you feel way better about your choices, I’ve also accumulated a lot of knowledge from therapists, psychotherapists, and psychopaths, which can probably help you avoid making the same mistakes I’ve made. Think of this book as everything you’d want from the Internet all in one place, except without the constant distractions of ads, online shopping, and porn. I’m not sure what else to say to say, except that you should buy it if you want to laugh and learn how to stop being crazy. And if we used to date, see you in court.

"Healing History is a candid, poignant, and often funny survivor-to-survivor guide to navigating the salty waters of untrue stories and victim-blaming narratives that you hear every day. Survivors of sex abuse are inundated with untrue stories of their abuse, the aftermath, and what their healing journey should look like. The truth is those stories are a load of crap. Healing Honestly is a survivor-to-survivor guide to breaking through the negative self-talk and debunking the myths that plague victims of sex abuse, such as: there is a "real" survivor out there, and we are not it; it happened so long ago that we should be over it by now; we are having too much sex because of our trauma and, also, we are having too little sex because of our trauma. With an approachable style that makes stigmatized topics not so scary, this book shows how trauma survivors will can learn to identify these untrue stories within themselves and find guidance on day-to-day struggles, such as "how to date" and "how to navigate flashbacks." Full of wit and humor, this book offers practical strategies for survivors of sex abuse to fight stigma and self-blame with radical honesty"--
