The doorbell rang, startling Amelia. She nearly dropped the novel. She had been staring at her name on the cover, a ridiculous smile plastered across her face, since the delivery arrived earlier. *Amelia Stone: The Accidental Icon.* She’d never considered herself an icon.

She flung the door open. Her neighbor, Mrs. Gable, stood there, a curious expression on her face. Amelia, unable to contain herself, thrust the book into her neighbor's hands. "Read it! Please! Read it right now!" she babbled.

Mrs. Gable blinked. Amelia couldn’t stop pacing in the small entryway, her hands flying. She felt like she might combust with excitement. Each word, each sentence, everything was a celebration. She couldn't wait to hear what Mrs. Gable thought.
