An Unexpected Arrangement (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781495252136)

Never in C. M. Shaw's wildest dreams did she think or believe that she would become a writer. In fact, this native born Omaha, Nebraskan had to bring her English grade up to satisfy her first love...Basketball. The ultimatum was simple: bring the grade up and continue to play. When it was first suggested, if C. M. Shaw wanted to be a writer, she should practice and read more, C. M. Shaw can remember thinking that those who suggested it and the notion were crazy. However, she always liked a good story and thought one day, after all delusions of being a basketball player fell to the wayside, why not write stories that she would like to read, which was nothing too preachy. With perseverance, practice, and patience, she put her shoulder to the plow, and respectfully saves the preaching for the preachers.
