Charlotte can only take so much. After summer passed with little to no visits from Montroville she started thinking about her life and how she can fix all these empty spaces she has in it. Little Lucy was about five months and Charlotte knew she had to make a good life for her daughter just like her parents did for her, even if it means leaving Montroville and going to live with her parents. Charlotte gave him one more time to make things right and he never showed up. Charlotte packed her belongings and left with out a note or anything left behind. When she got settled in at her parents place she started going back to school and working at a friend of the family's restaurant saving money to get her own place. It was a very tough year for Charlotte trying to forgive her self for what she did to her parents and trying to get the hang of her new schedule. She completed an associates degree in science hoping to one day become a nurse practitioner. After graduation she got a cute little two bedroom apartment, a place she could defiantly call home. She started back at school working towards her BSN. While in nursing school she met an amazing man but was real skeptical about getting into another relationship. This time she knew she had to keep her guard up. He was a very smart man that many people respected him. He didn't try to rush her into anything and just thought the world of her. Next thing Charlotte new she was in her junior year of college and felt on top of the world. To think of where she came from and how she turned her whole life around was astonishing every time she thought about it. Charlotte was living her dream as an independent single mother.

  1. Cute Story. Being a single mom where a man leaves the woman is very common. I like how she is strong and decides to leave him when he isn't there for her. I think now-a-days a woman would be afraid to leave the man or think she loves him so much that she wouldn't be able to just leave the man behind. I really like how the woman is portrayed as independent and strong! I do not have a child, but I can see how being a single mom and trying to go to school would be very tough. I liked your version a lot!

  2. I really liked you story. It was so cute. I felt like the whole time I was reading I was so relax, unlike the real story which was just full of bad things happening to her. I believe that a story like this could happen in now a days. I liked how you were able to shine a light on Charlotte and not let her go through so much horrible situations like in the book. Good job
