Once Upon An Ever After by Angela N. Blount Released July 2014 Set after the events of Blount's debut memoir,  Once Upon A Road Trip , this short story anthology focuses on the unusual courtship of Angeli and Vincent. When Angeli left Minnesota on a post-high school road trip, all she wanted was to see the East Coast and finally meet some of her online friends. She didn't expect to end up in a long-distance relationship with a computer-savvy Southern boy. Yet Vincent seems determined to defy the odds. To prove his intentions, he sets off on his own quest to visit Angeli and win her family's approval.

With a thousand miles and radically different upbringings between them, can Angeli and Vincent forge a forever-worthy bond? ...
