She Calls Her Mom

A journey of shattered dreams, unexpected love, and a quest for self-discovery. If you enjoy stories that delve into family dynamics, grief, love, loss, self-discovery, and the complexities of life while navigating challenging circumstances, this novella is perfect for you.  Zoey Matthew is excited to celebrate her upcoming 21st birthday and begin building the life she's always wanted. However, her dreams are shattered when her sister and brother-in-law die in a hit-and-run accident, leaving their baby, Ella, in her care.
Suddenly she has to learn how to take care of an infant and juggle her new career while grieving the loss of her sister, who had been like a mom to her after their own mother abandoned them. And losing her dad at a young age right before her mom left without a word has Zoey feeling lost and less than adequate for the job of becoming a mother to Ella. Encountering frequent challenges, Zoey gives up her career to care for her niece and throws in the towel on ever having a love life since she believes no man will be interested in her-a woman with a baby.
Feeling alone and vulnerable, she finds hope and joy in the presence of new friends: a kind-hearted Claudia and a charming-baby whisperer, Derek. Zoey realizes that her life can never truly be at peace until her sister's murderer is brought to justice and she finds out who is behind the mysterious weekly grocery deliveries. Will she uncover the truth and find closure, or will the disclosures shatter her world even further?
