“My life? In a book?” Clara had almost snorted when she’d been handed the thing. “Impossible.” But here it was, bound and official: "Clara Vance: A Force of Nature."

She looked at the book, marveling at the artistry. A wave of contentment washed over her. She knew a great celebration was in order.
