title: Something Better
author: Proulx, Roxanna Darling
description: Having spent her earlier years in an abusive home where she was neglected and mistreated, Angie searches for something better. Angie thought she found it when she met Eric. At sixteen, confused and desperate for affection, even lust seems like love, especially when someone is nice to you when you have never known kindness. The right words and a few compassionate gestures can make anyone grateful. One fateful night, Gracin Black comes into Angie’s life only to make her question what she believes in and makes her desire more. Gracin shows her true friendship and support. When tragedy strikes, Angie recognizes who she can really count on, but it wasn’t the one person she thought it would be. The one person that she thought would always be there leaves her disappointed. That’s when Angie realizes that love has no real description of whom it should be with. Gracin teaches her that there is more to life than she ever imagined. Angie finds her something better, although it is not what she ever anticipated it would be.
