Guest Post: Working Class Heroes & Heroines by Vanessa North
Working class heroes, man. I love ’em. Heroines too. I’ve written plumbers and farmers, bartenders and construction laborers—there’s something about someone who knows what it’s like to put in a hard day’s work that makes me believe that they can and will put that same work into their relationships.

Take it away Sabrina- Is love sweeter the second time around?
