After many years of researching, studying and learning about simple everyday life situations we go through and listening to others, I finally made it to the point where I’m able to share a more personal look inside of my life and the lives of everyday normal people. As you read, “A Part Of Me, You & Us”, you’ll see life is not always a bed of roses as some would have You to believe, but it is a blessing. As I open up and expose a part of who I really am; a part I’ve kept hidden or at least I thought it was hidden; a part of Me that now wants to speak on its own terms. I realized my blessing isn’t just for Me, it’s also for those who God has brought and will bring into my life to assist Me in their own unique way and share their own stories. You’re going to read about some of the events that have helped Us get to this point in our lives. This is a look inside the minds of a few people who are willing to share their stories with the intent of helping others who may be on similar journeys. These are stories about Me, You and things we did together. That’s how Me and You became US and how our stories came into existence. So, here’s the next step to finding out who we really are and the journeys that got Us here. I hope when You read my book it enlightens your journey. Enjoy!

Alison has been in her brother's indie rock band, Right Turn, since she was a teenager. Right as she's about to graduate college and will have to start making real decisions about her future, there comes an offer for them to go on a small tour with pop-country sensation Kristen Nichols, who is looking to make serious changes to her sound and image and believes touring with indie darlings Right Turn will give the new 'her' credibility. Kristen Nichols is the embodiment of everything about the music industry that Ali scoffs at, but she's offering them an affordable, real tour, and that's very hard to say no to. Putting up with a pop princess for a summer is a price worth paying--or so Ali thinks before she actually meets Kristen. 'K-Nic' does absolutely nothing for her, but Kristen Nichols in person? Yeah, that's a different story...

This collection of essays is about people. My people. In the midst of a pandemic, I am even more aware of the importance of my people- and time. There are friends I consider family who live in Europe and I have no idea when I will be allowed to see them again. There is family in the south and I long for their company. There is a biological relation who I will never see again. There are mentors who literally changed my life, and students whose impact never left. There are New Yorkers and Floridians, and there is immeasurable loss. What you get to take with you when you leave this earth is the following: what you did, how you lived, who you loved, who loved you. All the people that made you - for better or worse - who you are. People matter. To me. People matter, and time: the finite time you have with your people, and the finite time they have with you.
