Sinopsis

Three seconds. That's the time I spend every day admiring the boy I'm in love with unnoticed. Zero seconds. The time Patrick has devoted to me every day for the past few years since he returned to Columbus to attend high school.

I would so much like things to change, but every time I get close to him, I am always left burnt and humiliated. 
I don't understand why he resents me so much, that he never misses an opportunity to make me feel mistaken.
Still, I can't stop thinking about him, until Sawyer, the most antisocial and grouchy boy in school, comes along. I have never had anything to do with him, even though his eyes are often on me. There has always been a safe distance between us but as soon as this was violated, here comes Patrick. I don't know how it happened, but I feel like I'm caught between two fires, and now I don't know which way to turn. 
A secret that could put an end to that feud or start a real war between Good and Evil.

Nelly's Hospital

Louisa May Alcott

Nelly's Hospital (1865) is a short story by Louisa May Alcott, written during or shortly after the American Civil War. Nelly, a small soul, starts an hospital for little creatures and animals, inspired by the happenings on the war front, and wants to do some good.

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was an American novelist. She is best known for the novels Little Women, published in 1868, and Little Men. Due to the family's poverty, she began work at an early age as an occasional teacher, seamstress, governess, domestic helper, and writer - her first book was Flower Fables (1854). As she grew older, she developed as both an abolitionist and a feminist. A lesserknown part of her work are the passionate, fiery novels and stories she wrote, usually under the pseudonym A. M. Barnard, such as A Long Fatal Love Chase (1866). Alcott also produced moralistic and wholesome stories for children, and a semi-autobiographical tale Work (1873). In her later life, Alcott became an advocate of women's suffrage and was part of a group of female authors during the Gilded Age to address women's issues in a modern and candid manner. Despite worsening health, Alcott wrote through the rest of her life.

Lyssa Browne makes her home in Seattle where she works as a voice actor, performs in regional theatre companies, as well as acts for TV and film. Her voice can be heard as many different characters in a variety of video games and audiobooks, and as the narrator of documentaries for the Discovery Channel and others.
