Kara Hudson has been married to her billionaire husband, Simon, for over two years, and she loves him even more desperately than she did when they first married. Unfortunately, there was a distance growing between the two of them, and the passion between them wasn’t flaring as red-hot as it used to burn. Was it possible that Simon wasn’t as crazy in love with her as he used to be, or did their problems go much deeper than that?
Simon Hudson loves his wife and his infant daughter so much it hurts. And he was getting tired of holding back his emotions from his worn-out, exhausted wife who had seen their baby girl through her first year and a half of life without complaint.
Will their differences and emotional distance tear the two of them apart? Or will a precious gift from Santa help them heal their misunderstandings and have the merriest Christmas they’ve ever had?
These mesmerizing stories are reminiscent of childhood favorites “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark,” by Alvin Schwartz and “Where the Sidewalk Ends,” by Shel Silverstein. The collection contains seven short, sweet, but uniquely disturbing poems. On Pins and Needles has been described as “nostalgic to my childhood,” and “cleverly crafted.” Though some themes may be disturbing for children under ten years of age, these stories are perfect for the young adult and adult reader. They contain, in them, an almost hidden but delightful sense of hopefulness.
On Pins and Needles contains the following stories in its first edition:
Almost three years ago, a car crash took Audrey’s dad and scarred her for life. Now eighteen, she returns to her hometown for the first time after the accident.
She’s here to start again. Go to college and have fun. Make new friends. Get over the past.
But the past won’t let go.
Asher is here—her first kiss, her first heartbreak. More handsome and distant than ever, he’s still the boy who used to be her best friend. That was before he changed into someone she hardly knows anymore—the boy who started getting into fights and gave her the cold shoulder for years.
