My Favorite Things Event with Ginger Scott

My Favorite "Go-To, Make-Me-Feel-Happy" Things

Sometimes, ya just have an off day. Or maybe an off week. Too many bills, too much drama, you're sick with the flu, parenting is tough, or you just feel like no matter what, you can't seem to climb over that peek to the sunshine side. I get that way sometimes. And I have a few things that are guaranteed to perk me up, even if just a little. Here's my magic formula - the top three. Feel free to borrow it - maybe I'll run into you at one of my places ;-)

1. Grocery store visits are the bomb! Specifically, for me, it is my Sprouts grocery store. I love their produce and deli and bakery, but it's more than that. They play the best music. Just last week I walked in during Otis Redding and shopped to Bill Haley and the Comets. By the time I left, we were all singing Firework with Katy Perry. Plus, Sprouts is a huge autism supporter, often hiring people on the spectrum to work in their stores, and that hits right at the center of my heart. This place is THE place. I swear.

2. Dirty Dancing. Not doing it, although with the right partner... No matter where the movie is in the story, if I find it on, I stop and watch through to the end. It's Swayze. It's denim shorts and a perm that I tried to replicate once (okay, more than once). It's a kick-ass soundtrack that never gets old. It's bunny hops and Adirondack chairs and the Catskills and the sixties and oh my god, the best love story ever!

3. Okay, don't judge. You're going to think this one is strange. But here it is...hose water. Yep. Hose water. Specifically, the SMELL of hose water. There is something about it that makes me feel warm grass on my toes, a kick in my heart and a curve on my lips. It reminds me to breathe, and to remember the simple things.

They say everyone’s a superhero to someone. I’m not sure who I’m supposed to save, but I know who saved me.

We were kids. His name was Christopher. And up until the day he pulled me from death’s grip, he was nothing more than a boy I felt sorry for. In a blink of an eye, he became the only person who made me feel safe.

And then he disappeared.

Now I’m seventeen. I’m not a kid anymore. I haven’t been for years. While death didn’t take me that day, the things that happened left me with scars—the kind that robbed me of everything I once loved and drove me into darkness. But more than anything else, that day—and every day since—has taken away my desire to dream.

I wasn’t going to have hope. I wouldn’t let myself wish. Those things—they weren’t for girls like me. That’s what I believed…until the new boy.

He’s nothing like the old boy. He’s taller and older. His hair is longer, and his body is lean—strong and ready for anything. I don’t feel sorry for him. And sometimes, I hate him. He challenges me. From the moment I first saw him standing there on the baseball field, he pushed me—his eyes constantly questioning, doubting…daring. Still, something about him—it feels…familiar.

He says his name is Wes. But I can’t help but feel like he’s someone else. Someone from my past. Someone who’s come back to save me.

This time, though, he’s too late. Josselyn Winters, the girl he once knew, is gone. I am the threat; I am my worst enemy. And he can’t save me from myself.

Book 2 in the duet - A GIRL LIKE ME - releases May 26, 2017.
