Synopsis:
When seventeen-year-old
Natalya’s dreams of being a ballerina are killed in a car accident along
with her father, she must choose: shut down—like her mother—or open
up to love.
Last year, Natalya was attending the School of Performing Arts in New York City. Last year, she was well on her way to becoming a professional ballerina. Last year, her father was still alive.
But a car crash changed all that—and Natalya can’t stop blaming herself. Now, she goes to a regular high school in New Jersey; lives with her onetime prima ballerina, now alcoholic mother; and has no hope of a dance career.
At her new school, however, sexy soccer player Antonio sees a brighter future for Natalya, or at least a more pleasant present, and his patient charms eventually draw her out of her shell.
But when upsetting secrets come to light and Tonio’s own problems draw her in, Natalya shuts down again, this time turning to alcohol herself.
Can Natalya learn to trust Antonio before she loses him—and destroys herself?

AUTHOR BIO
Elodie Nowodazkij was
raised in a tiny village in France, where she could always be found a book in
hand. At nineteen, she moved to the US, where she learned she'd never lose
her French accent. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in Modern Language
& Linguistics, and later earned master's degrees in German Cultural Studies
and European Studies. Unbeknownst to her professors, she sometimes drafted
stories in class. Now she lives in Germany with her husband and their cat (who
doesn't seem to realize he's not human), and uses her commuting time to
write the stories swirling in her head. She's also a serial smiley user.

A Day in the Life of Elodie Nowodazkij
(Disclaimer: this regular day schedule will change as of October, as it
is planned—if all goes well—that we move back to the US).
4.40 a.m.: Wake up and from times to
times grumble. I am not always the most gracious before my coffee. On other
days though, smile at the hubby who’s also waking up super early to go work
out.
4:50 a.m.: Coooooofffeeee.
4.55 a.m.: Settle in front of the
computer upstairs, refrain from checking twitter. Refrain. Come on, Elodie, you
can refrain yourself. Ok, send a tweet.
5 a.m.: Revise. Revise. Revise.
Morning
revisions.
5.30 a.m.: Grab second cup of coffee
and revise.
5.45 a.m.: Check Twitter again. I
know, bad.
5.55 a.m: Go back downstairs to eat
breakfast.
6.10 a.m.: Shower time.
6.52 a.m: Out of the door. Super
precise, because of the train schedule and how long it takes me to walk to the
train station. Every minute counts in the morning. Walk to the train
station.
7.06 a.m.: If the train is not late
:) - time to revise a bit more and read.
7.42 a.m.: Arrival at the train
station in Frankfurt, change to the metro, while continuing to read on my
Kindle.
8 a.m.: At my desk with yet
another coffee I grabbed into the kitchen. The day job can start.
6.17 p.m.: Hop in the train back to
Mainz (again if the train is not late). I tweet a lot of delayed train status
updates.
6.52 p.m.: Train arrives at my
station in Mainz. Time to walk back to the apartment.
7.05 p.m.: Home sweet home…hubby time
:) I am very lucky that most of the times when I come home, dinner is already
taken care of and we can just enjoy each other’s company or watch T.V., usually
a T.V. show, we usually start watching late and then watch all episodes at
once.
9.30 p.m.: Time to sleep (and read)
:)
