Here&#8217;s half of the blurb:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #181818;\">Singer-songwriter Lucy Moore thought her life was perfect. At just twenty-one, she&#8217;s already met her soul mate and together they&#8217;ve landed a recording contract. But when her father dies and the love of her life betrays her in more ways than one, she returns home to pick up the pieces. On the shores of Mendocino, California, Lucy has some decisions to make. Should she start a solo career? Or should she leave it all behind for some semblance of normalcy in the quiet town she grew up in? And what about Seth, the tortured artist who always seems to be there when she needs him?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Today&#8217;s Tearjerker\u00a0~<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/txTdcqDTL9E?rel=0\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliviabrynn.com\/books\/falling-star\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-attachment-id=\"5543\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/2012\/11\/saturday-status-11172012\/falling-star-cinemagraph-smaller\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/falling-star-cinemagraph-smaller.gif\" data-orig-size=\"195,300\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/falling-star-cinemagraph-smaller.gif\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/falling-star-cinemagraph-smaller.gif\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"shadow alignleft wp-image-5543 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/falling-star-cinemagraph-smaller.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"195\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>Book Snippet ~ From Falling Star:<\/p>\n<p>He followed her into her house, and even into her bedroom, despite her feeble attempts to kick him out. &#8220;If you brought some of your things over to my house, we wouldn&#8217;t have to go through this.&#8221; He peeled last night&#8217;s dress off her.
