Itsy's Ugly

by A. Lynn

The forest was once a magical place filled with dreams and adventures Itsy shared with Luke and Gary. But children grow up and stop believing in magic. And themselves.


Itsy was resigned to her quiet life on the farm she'd inherited as her legacy where Nans nagged from her rocker, Mom primped for nights out, and Missy watched her crime shows. She was even resigned to shuffling through shifts at the diner, ignoring the ache in her crooked leg. Until she heard the news.

Luke had returned to town.

Torn between longing to see him and needing to hide, she found herself looking for answers to questions about her past and the tragic event that tore them apart. But some answers don't come easy and Itsy is left questioning everything she believes... even her reality.


Itsy's Ugly is a breathtaking journey into the power of letting go of ugliness that cripples us and rediscovering the magic of hope.
