James Patterson presents two heartwarming tales about the power of a good story to open our eyes to life's possibilities. Tell me your best story: Anne McWilliams has lost everything. Her marriage fell apart so she turned to photography, only to have her world turned upside down again when a hurricane destroyed her home and all of her beloved photos. In the aftermath of the storm, Anne takes to the road to ask long-lost family, friends, and strangers a simple question: "What's your best story?" Can the funny, tragic, inspirational tales she hears on her journey help Anne see what she's been missing? The lifesaver: Tyler Bron has it all--a successful company that's changing the world, and more money than he knows how to spend--but still, he doesn't have a life. So he hires a struggling novelist to write one for him. Money is no object, and he soon becomes the protagonist in a love story that goes beyond his wildest imagination. It's everything he was lacking. But when the world he's created becomes too real for all involved, will Tyler Bron be able to write the happy ending himself?
