Since moving to Hollywood, Natalie's ability to find humor and hope in every situation has always been her saving grace. A resilience she'll need even more when her 2-year-old son is diagnosed with autism. Suddenly finding herself knee deep but drowning in the new world of "waiting pools," where a child's disability services are based on eligibility (aka how much money one makes or how famous they are), Natalie needs to find a way to pay for her child's early intervention. And fast. Desperate, she takes a job as the personal assistant to Johnny Stix, an A-list action star who is silver spoon spoiled. Cleaning up the myriad personal and professional messes he makes by the minute, reading him scripts, chauffeuringhim all over LA in her minivan, and attending extravagant parties becomes Natalie's new normal. As does his occasional hooker and growing co-dependency. While bouncing between his fairy tale life and the reality of her son's therapies and struggles, Natalie discovers that navigating and surviving Hollywood is much like dealing with the mysterious world of autism; that there are no clear answers, and no yellow brick road to magically follow towards success. Instead, like most things in life, you just have to jump in and decide if you're going to sink or swim.

Catelyn's day couldn't have been much worse. Thanks to a new fence around her high school she can no longer sneak home to care for her grandmother. The family car broke down, money is beyond tight, and it appears her twin brother has gotten himself into trouble... again.But then the unthinkable happened--her former best friend died in a freak car accident before Catelyn could apologize for past mistakes. She wishes she could erase the day and pretend it never happened. Well, except for one moment--meeting Ben, her super hot, super smart, slightly mysterious classmate. Supposedly time heals all wounds, but does it really? Catelyn is about to find out when a strange twist of fate gives her a do-over, 24 hours to right the wrongs, fix what's broken, and possibly save the day. Will time be on her side or will she just make a bigger mess of things? And most importantly, should she risk losing everything to return to the SAME TIME YESTERDAY?★★★★★"Overall, this book is a charming look at the world of a teenage girl. Catelyn is a great character whose worries about friendships and boys ring true. She also has a special but frustrating relationship with her Nana. Other family members are also compelling characters; Camden, for instance, is a loose cannon who's surprisingly kindhearted, and their mom just wants to follow her dream of becoming a published author. The plot device of time travel helps with the overall characterization, as everyone in the family experiences it, not just Catelyn. Readers will be excited to find out how events will unfold.A sweet, well-paced time-travel story about a teenager dealing with everyday challenges." - Kirkus Reviews, 2019 published under pseudenom Jami LIlo.
