Plans

"Yeah, well, I heard she used to be a big time photographer. Then one day she just stopped taking pictures and came to work here. Nobody knows why."

All great things start out as something small, a connection formed between two unexpected sparks, foundations built through trial and time and trust, future plans mapped out in baby steps. Danya Biermann never expected to be cooking for the students of the Shimamura School for Gifted Children, just as she never expected Patrick Dahlberg to agree to her book proposal, but there she'd had hope and eggrolls.

Danya always found it easy to believe in herself and take care of everyone else, but found it hard to accept that same faith and love from others. So does Nathan Weisflock, whose friendship she needs to put her life back together.

This is the story of the impact of one life that shatters more, but within is the proof that sometimes an unexpected connection borne of love and faith can bring us back to ourselves and our best laid plans.
