Synopsis

A handsome stranger. A whirlwind trip to India. A life forever changed. 
For Daly English, life is a series of one disappointment after another. Rather than dealing with the fall-out, she locks herself in her studio and works tirelessly toward completing her art school portfolio. Unfortunately, fate isn't done with Daly quite yet. 
Time and time again, a handsome stranger refuses to be ignored, forcing her to come to grips with the loss she's been harboring for years and to trust herself to love again. Their whirlwind romance transports her from the drab Midwest straight to the bold and colorful capital city of India where a slew of quirky characters cast a stark contrast to her world at home. Will Daly continue to fade into the background of her own life, or will her journey transform her into exactly who she needs to be? 
A Colorful Life: Drawn in Broken Crayon weaves a tale of friendship, ambition, and adventure while illustrating that sometimes what we want least is what we need most.
"A COLORFUL LIFE is as promised, a colorful read--providing a rich, nuanced portrait of the changing environment and perspective that comes with the territory of falling in love."  ~ IndieReader

About Melissa Storm

Melissa Storm is a mother first, and everything else second. Writing is her way of showing her daughter just how beautiful life can be, when you pay attention to the everyday wonders that surround us. So, of course, Melissa's USA Today bestselling fiction is highly personal and often based on true stories.

Melissa loves books so much, she married fellow author Falcon Storm. Between the two of them, there are always plenty of imaginative, awe-inspiring stories to share. Melissa and Falcon also run a number of book-related businesses together, including LitRing, Novel Publicity, Your Author Engine, the Author Site, and the Alliterates. When she's not reading, writing, or child-rearing, Melissa spends time relaxing at home in the company of her five dogs, cockatiel, and a rescue cat named Schrodinger.

Goodreads review by Jill

An interesting read, a story of overcoming tragedy, finding love and the strength to change. Trust the fate is a phrase used in the book, and the characters learns what they mean.

Goodreads review by Kristen

This book has quite the sting in its tail, so take that as a warning to have the tissues on hand, just in case. It may be one of the truest comparisons to a roller-coaster I’ve encountered in a while. It’s not a crazy up and down ride, it’s the slow climb to the top before the rapid descent into wha......more
