Till it was like a month till the book comes out. WHAT IF.Īnd I’ve been hiding in the bushes ever since. What if it’s sugary sweet and my eyes will roll back and stay there.

But Cait’s blog is like so awesome, so she clearly CAN write, right?.

I know someone who’s publishing a real, actual book, and I was there when it happened.

oh wow! Cait is finally publishing one of her books, something I’ve been asking her about for ages (…WHEN, WHEN, WHEN).

Beck’s mother expects the world of him and Beck can’t ever seem to deliver it to her, no matter how hard or long he plays the piano. His mother-the well renowned maestro, used to play before she had her tragic accident and could play no more.
