    If I were to write a memoir, the title would be: Joan and The Multiple Times She Absolutely Did Not Need Ezra Harrison, But That Jerk Was There Anyway. 
 
 
 
There was . . .  
 
 
 
1) The time he saved my life (by forcing me in a compromising position). 
 
 
 
2) The time he taught me how to wear a certain appendage (okay, so I probably should've just Googled it). 
 
 
 
3) The time he helped me woo the woman of my dreams (after he slept with her first). 
 
 
 
I do not need Ezra Harrison and his devil-may-care smile and his messy hair and his loud motorcycle and his huge, massive chip on his shoulder. I don't need him, but . . . I want him. I want them both.

    Description：
Two years after his passing, Autumn Miller arrives in the ancient city of Xi'an, the hometown of the man she loved and lost, Miles. Haunted by memories and unwilling to forget, she embarks on a solitary pilgrimage to the places that defined their past. Her journey takes an unexpected turn when she meets River Wilson, a kind-hearted photographer with his own burdens. As River guides the lost and grieving Autumn through the labyrinthine streets and serene mosques of the Muslim Quarter, a fragile connection forms. But Autumn's heart remains tethered to a ghost, her loyalty to Miles' memory a wall around her soul. In a city steeped in history, where the scent of pagoda trees hangs in the air, two wounded souls navigate the delicate space between letting go and holding on. 'The Echoes of Miles' is a poignant and beautifully rendered story of enduring love, profound grief, and the unexpected paths to healing that appear when we least expect them.
