James receives inspiration from an editor/friend, Arthur. Then comes Thanksgiving with Leigh and her family...an event that doesn't go as planned.

Leigh goes on vacation abroad while James, alone once again and completely despondent, faces numerous rejection letters. Thankfully, an old friend, Mitch, decides to surprise James with a perfectly timed appearance...and gift.

Leigh agrees to meet with James on what ends up being the same day he's rejected by one of the largest publishing companies in the country. Will he keep his composure and go through with meeting Leigh...or stay home and wallow in self-pity?

Horribly lonely, James turns to MySpace.com and finds a kind, God-loving gal, Leigh, his only hope of companionship. But is she for real?

James Frost is introduced, along with the idea of unconventionality. His best friend begins college, leaving James behind and virtually alone in a conventional world. Now all he has left is his dream of becoming a published author.
