This story had me feel ALL THE FEELS! For a short story, Piper\u2019s story had me laugh at times and almost in tears at others! AND I\u2019M NOT A CRIER! Whoa!<\/p>\n<p>Piper has a lot going on in her life. She is taking care of her grandmother as best she can, prioritizing bills the best she can, and dealing with city giving threats of more fines and liens on the house for not moving the ancient hot tub from the front yard. Just read it, it will tear your heart up! The one thing she doesn\u2019t need is Sheriff Creed McDuffy \u201ctalking\u201d to her about her problem while she is at work. She has had enough and blows up. But what does he do? Arrests her!<\/p>\n<p>I spent half the time yelling WTF, the other half trying not to cry, and the other half swooning. I know I know, there are three halves here. Trust me, girl math, this makes sense!<\/p>\n<p>This was my favorite out of the three Rocks books.
