Live a Little is Book #1 of the Ellen Chronicles series. Living a sheltered childhood is not always good. Ellen discovers deceit and pain as she travels through life from being a naïve country girl to acquiring the basic instincts to survive in the big city. Ellen faces not one crossroad, but many, and she does not always choose the correct path. Ellen didn't choose to be fat, but she is. Ellen didn't choose to become pregnant with her first child while unmarried, but it was her fault, and she knows it. All she asks is that you don't judge her until and unless you've traveled in her shoes.
