Somewhere Inside my Mind

by Stephany Wallace

Sometimes we find ourselves in the secrets our minds keep...
 
MarieAnn only wants two things from life. To have Alice, her self-proclaimed sister always by her side, and to share her heart with the world through the colors on her canvas. Growing up in an orphanage left scars, but she’s escaped her reality by admiring a man whose life proves, anything is possible.
 
When forced to leave the only home she’s ever known, and guided by Alice’s crazy antics, MarieAnn will do the unthinkable, in the hopes of securing their now uncertain future.
 
Blind Artist Vincent McKlelland has wealth, and immeasurable success. Things he didn’t wish for. He lives a solitary life, focused on the only thing that brings him relief. Painting. Yet, what he desires the most, he might never possess… the truth about a past that left him in the shadows.
 
Until one day their worlds collide.
 
Can MarieAnn let go of the demons she’s carried to become the artist she’s dreamed of?
Will Vincent open himself to love, and take a chance at life again?

Great story. Loved Marie Ann and Alice sister bond. Vincent and Patrick are great counter parts. Would recommend to and one who loves a great love be story with a twist. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.

[Yarelis Martínez · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the most heartwarming, heartbreaking, beautiful book I've ever read. The development of the characters is progressive, and ongoing. The story is very touching, and touches a part of you deep inside. And most importantly, the main character is a very sensitive girl, looking to find herself (at least that's what I see). I lovedoing every second of this book. I was brought to tears, for both sad moments and laughings ones. I can't express how much I love this book. And if I could have it right now, I'll be buried reading the next book. That good it is! TOTALLY RECOMMENDED
P.S. Have tissues with you.

This book was one of a kind. It took me longer than usual to read but it was amazing. The beginning of the book had my eye. I couldn't put it down. It had me wanting to know what was gonna happen next. There were heartbreaking moments where I almost started crying. And there was happy moments that had me smiling. The ending got me. The whole time I kept saying omg. Omg omg. Then bam . Cliffhanger. Whyyy . I absolutely loved this book. And I cannot wait til the next book in February. February needs to hurry up. I just can't wait.!!

Phenomenal

Oh my, what an emotional ride. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Getting to know the characters and watching their relationships grow was amazing. I love how the author draws you into the story where you feel each emotion. It does have a cliffhanger at the end but still well worth reading. Anxiously waiting for the second part!!!

Omg this book is amazing

Ok ill be the first to say that I am not a fan on contemporary romance, but this book is so different from most. The characters are awesome and so much fun. S.C. Wallace brings the characters to life with the humor and real life feelings. She makes you feel all emotions under the spectrum at one point I was literally carrying and laughing the next minute. You do not want to miss the extricate read. I absolutely loved it.

Emotional rollercoaster

My heart was won over in this book. True emotions on a rollercoaster ride. From start to finish the author pulled me in and had me hooked. I cried, laughed and screamed. Tbe ending got me good too.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Firstly I have to say I love to read, a lot. In all the years of reading I have to say, this is one story that has taken me by the shoulders , given me a shake and said “ you will never feel the same again about a story so moving , so emotional, ever again” .
The story of two young girls, MarieAnn and Alice, brought up together in an orphanage. From the start it made me tear up it was so emotional. It’s not all doom and gloom. MarieAnn has hopes and dreams and together with Alice, her now forever “sister” (who I might add will make you laugh so much) you follow their journey. Meeting famous BLIND artist Vincent McKlelland and his assistant Patrick is a life changing experience. All four lives are intertwined. Never have I read a story where you see hopes, dreams, despair, turmoil, strength , hardship, courage, laughter, happiness all in one go.
I have to say, it is a privilege to read this, can’t wait for book 2.

[Lisa Eiff · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed reading this book. When I first started reading it, I wasn't sure what to expect. This novel starts at an orphanage, and leads to an unexpected turn of events that heightens two selfless girls' artistic experiences in life. The world of art is introduced in more than one ways in this book, and the desire for the unity of family is expressed in many ways in this book as well.

This book is an emotional journey, and I look forward to reading the next book in this series to see what happens with these characters next. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys books featuring well developed characters, and also isn't afraid to experience the emotional turmoil that surrounds the creative process. Get ready to experience love, hope, joy, pain, turbulence and selflessness when you get acquainted with these characters.

[Kallie Kennon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Emotional, amazing.

This book is hands down one of the best romance novels I've read. If I could give it beyond five stars I would. Tears are still streaming down my face as I write this review. This story brought out so many emotions; happy, funny, sad. The characters are very strong and well written. The main female characters are on a road to self-discovery when they meet a man that unexpectedly turned out being someone they hold dear to their hearts. They are strong women that work hard for their goals that they want in life. They dont want to except handouts. Their lives have changed in unexpected ways.

[Maria Varley · Rating 5 out of 5]

I recived an ARC in exchange for an honest review but have since bought the book.

This is the first in a new series from this author that tells the story of 2 orphaned girls and a famous artist. One of the girls idolized said artist and every month on a Saturday along with her sister would drive to see him from afar. One fateful day they finally meet. Things happened and since they had to leave the orphanage the artist offers to mentor ( after some persuasion) to mentor the one who idolizes him. A lot happens and things happens but needless to say this will have you in tears screaming NOOOOO wanting and needing more. I highly recommend reading this book even if you do end up in tears

[Alicia Allen-Trevino · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've never been a big fan of contemporary romance novels only because they usually can't catch my interest with in the first couple of chapters. At first this book started the same way I wasn't very interested in the first few chapters BUT just as I was about to give up on reading it I got sucked in. This book is absolutely amazing in my opinion. It really tugs at your heart strings. I will definitely be purchasing book 2 when it comes out. Sorry for not going into parts of the story but I know that if I did I would spoil it for everyone. Love this book!

[Alicia Carter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow...what an emotional ride. I was surprised and really captured by this story. The characters were setup phenomenally and have you feeling as though you really can picture how their life is. This story will have you relating to real life and take you on an emotional roller coaster with every emotion coming into play. You will laugh, cry, scream, love and yes even feel anger but I'm sure you will fall in love with this book.

I definitely recommend it

[Melodie Custer-luckett · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow.... What an emotional ride this book is.... But I LOVED it!!!!

It's different that what I expected, I kept thinking I knew how it was going to go, but then I learned I was wrong...

The ending left me looking for more pages....... however there were no more pages....

Can't wait for book two....

I'm anxious to continue this sweet loving story..

[Sarah Dajani · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a beautiful story! I’m not going to lie I literally cried my way through most of it and laughed along with the characters for the rest. Whilst heartbreaking in some parts this story was truly uplifting in others. The characters are great and I can’t wait to find out what happens next....especially after that ending!!
Another great story from Stephany Wallace, she never disappoints.

[Samantha Bridges · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! I love every single of these characters! This was such an amazing story! So well put together and so hard to put down! Gosh that ending though! Ugh!! I can’t wait for the next book and hope that everyone gets their happy ending! They all deserve it!

[Karen Dubose · Rating 5 out of 5]
