In a Perfect World

by Michelle Devon

"In a perfect world, we would never have a broken heart...but ours is not a perfect world...so I write the words you may never read and share them with those who will understand...until the world is perfect...again." With our busy lives, with the text message, the email, the cell phone—we communicate at lightening speed, but rarely talk anymore. Technology is an amazing thing, but it cannot touch us in those places deep in our hearts and souls where only another human being can touch us. In a Perfect World is a compilation of many emotional writings. In these pages, you will see the full range of emotion—from love to hatred, from fear to peace. Every reader will easily find something that can can relate to events in their own lives. The goal of the author is to touch readers in those places in the heart and soul that may not have been touched in a very long time.

About the author

Michelle Devon (Michy) has two children, a daughter (24) and a son (18), who refuse to finish baking, no matter how many times she shoves their heads in the oven. Michy is also in love with an identical twin (4?), though she’s not sure which one he is. Her best friend, lovingly known as Buffy (??), rounds out her perfect family of choice, along with three kitty cats, two dogs, and a few invisible friends, along with the people who live inside her head.

Michy was faced with making a choice between her head exploding or becoming successful as a novelist. Determining that the latter would be more painful, she nearly chose the explosion, until she was reminded that the kids were bad at cleaning up messes so she’d just have to do it herself. Novelist it would be.

Diagnosed with congestive heart failure and pulmonary arterial hypertension in 2011, she has spent most of the past two years learning how to live again after nearly dying twice. If asked what she does for her ‘day job’, she’ll answer, “I’m a full-time professional dreamer…”
