Summary

When Maddie accepts a part-time art teaching job in a quiet coastal town, she’s determined to leave her past behind. But on her first day, a lively little girl named Ivy captures her attention and something about her laugh, her bright eyes, the way she sketches feels unsettlingly familiar.
 
Noah, a widowed architect, is Ivy’s adoptive father. For seven years, he’s built a life around her pancake breakfasts, bedtime stories, and the steady love she deserves. What he doesn’t expect is the new art teacher, whose presence stirs emotions he thought had been buried with his grief.
 
As Maddie begins to realize the truth that Ivy is the daughter she gave up years ago Noah discovers a letter never meant for him. Suddenly, the past they’ve both avoided collides with the fragile connection forming between them.
 
Can they find healing in the child who ties their lives together, or will the truth pull them apart?

    Notes from the Underground

    Dostoevsky's novella " Notes from the Underground" is part embittered monologue and part brief descriptions of anecdotes from the anonymous writer's life. As the author himself states: 
"The author of the diary and the diary itself are, of course, imaginary. Nevertheless it is clear that such persons as the writer of these notes not only may, but positively must, exist in our society, when we consider the circumstances in the midst of which our society is formed." 
The Russia of the mid 19th century was a period in which the society was awash with a myriad of philosophical ideas as it became increasingly influenced by the West. The writer instinctively reacts against Utopian ideals and sees in himself the proof that such a philosophy is doomed.   
Head Stories Audio presents "Notes from the Underground" by Fyodor Dostoevsky, narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.

It's always been her, and I just never realized. Now that I'm looking at her that way, I can't unsee it . . . and I don't want to. Alyssa has been my best friend since kindergarten, and these intense new feelings could cost me our friendship. She's the one I share everything with, good or bad. It makes sense to share my life with her. But I can't risk losing the only woman I've ever loved, which will happen if she doesn't feel the same. 
 
 
 
Alyssa is loyal and kind and takes my breath away. I just wish it hadn't taken me so long to figure out what's been right in front of me.

Falling for my best friend is easy, but keeping it to myself while figuring out what to do about it is the hard part. Because in a small town, everyone knows everyone . . . and their business. 
 
 
 
Sterling is the perfect guy—handsome, with a heart of gold and a protective streak. I know he'll do anything for me . . . except maybe admit he feels the same way I do. 
 
 
 
So, I'm stuck in limbo and am in love with my best friend. Just when I work up the nerve to finally tell him how I feel, everything changes with a confession and two words: stay tonight.
