    Irish Maggie Crawford had her perfect life planned for her. Then she met Charles Labbe. His handsome French blood wasn't exactly what her rich parents had in mind. Shy, awkward Maggie takes her life into her own hands. But when it comes to going against the grain will she defy her parents demands and choose love even if it means leaving everything she knows behind?

      WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

      Sarah’s Secret

      Sarah's Secret is just one example of Danielle Nicole Bienvenu's brilliance. A triumphant journey that will move you to believe.

      -Jeff Rivera, Author of Forever My Lady

      ***** An incredible story by a wonderful author. I will be purchasing more from her.

      -Rosa Croley, Reader, 5 Stars

      Changing Stripes

      ***** "Changing Stripes may be a short story but the impact found

      within these pages is very strong. It draws you in from the first sentences and leaves you thinking long after the last word. It is sad that racism is still going strong and I commend Danielle for writing about its effects so eloquently… Touching and opens your eyes. Original in a way everyone can understand and appreciate. An eloquently written short story that makes you continue to think long after the cover has been closed. Definitely a must read…"

      -Danielle Shaver, Reader, 5 Stars

      He’s Mental, That’s Why!

      ***** This is a lovely story surrounding the relationship between a couple of teens who live in a quiet town. They both have aspirations for the future, but time interferes and the reader hopes for the best outcome. I would say this book is ideal for the mid-late teenage group although it has to be said that I am much older and I still loved it. I couldn’t wait to see how it ended!

      -Harri Romney, Author of Clunky Monkey, 5 Stars

      My Brother’s Keeper

      A very enjoyable novella with a strong moral message.

      -Marble City Publishing, Ruby Barnes, Author of Peril

      ***** Another astonishing story from Danielle Nicole Bienvenu. It grabs you from the first page and holds you tight until the very end. I was drawn into the emotions of the characters and felt what they felt. If you’re looking for a story that will have you thinking, this one is for you.

      -Danielle Shaver, Reader, 5 Stars

      Roberts, Dana; 21.

      **** A very interesting story and Bienvenu did a very good job of showing Dana’s confusion and angst. A nice read.

      -Ey Wade, Author of Beads on A String & The Fishing Trip, 4 Stars

      **** A young woman tries to reconstruct her former life after an accident leaves her with amnesia. This short story keeps you guessing up to the O’Henry twist at the end. A quick, easy read… Good imagination and a talent for storytelling.

      -J.C. Allen, Author of the Chronicles of Time Series, 4 Stars

      Running from My Shadow

      ***** "Running from My Shadow is very well written… The story line is captivating, and the details paint a vivid image. I could almost believe that I was living the story while reading it. It is a truly heartbreaking story of true love, loss, and faith in God. I could not put it down. I was almost sad to finish it. A truly amazing novel
