The Girl with Autumn Eyes
by R.F. Vincent


I looked at my watch—9:42 a.m. on the twenty-eighth day of September. It was the exact moment I fell in love with the girl on the bridge. Discarded in a dumpster at birth and never adopted, MC has been crippled by social anxiety for most of his twenty-five years. Then one day, during an eventful bicycle ride through the Nova Scotia countryside, he has an improbable encounter with a woman on a bridge that changes everything. Although no words are spoken at the time, it’s love at first sight for MC. What follows is an entertaining and unusual quest for love. Despite his debilitating shyness and feelings of inadequacy, MC battles to break free of his self-imposed prison, leading to a remarkable journey that comes full circle in a way that no one could have ever imagined. Smart, funny, and heartfelt, The Girl with Autumn Eyes is a spellbinding story of love and friendship that will stay with readers long after the final page.
