Vanessa Mazur knows she's doing the right thing. She shouldn't feel bad for quitting....

Some days, all you need is a message from a stranger. Ruby Santos knew exactly what she was getting herself into when she signed up to write a soldier overseas. The guidelines were simple: one letter or email a week for the length of his or her deployment....

It didn't take a week for 27-year-old Sal Casillas to wonder what she'd seen in the international soccer icon....

If anyone ever said being an adult was easy, they hadn't been one long enough. Diana Casillas can admit it: she doesn't know what the hell she's doing half the time....

The last few years have definitely been tough for Jasmine Santos. After 17 years, she knows her window to compete in figure skating is coming to a close. But when the offer of a lifetime comes in from an arrogant idiot, Jasmine might have to reconsider everything.....

Luna Allen has done some things she'd rather no one ever know about. She also knows that, if she could go back in time, she wouldn’t change a single thing. With three sisters she loves, a job she mostly adores, and a family built up of friends, Luna figures everything has worked out....

After moving to Austin following six months of unemployment back home, Iris Taylor knows she should be glad to have landed a job so quickly....
