About the Book 
Sweet NA Contemporary Romance Novella 
How does a star fall?
Quickly. Completely. Unexpectedly.
Derrick Knolane escapes to Trinidad Head most evenings, 
avoiding his apartment and planning for the day he'll break free of Humboldt 
County. Working in a music store might be fine for a while, but it's far from 
the goal he had in mind when he got his college degree. Not to mention the fact 
that his roommate is a jerk and his family won't stop trying to run his 
life.
Then Brielle falls into his world.
She claims to be a star. Not from Hollywood, but from heaven. 
He thinks she's crazy. Certainly delusional. Yet, he can't just leave her alone 
on the cliffs. So he takes her home.
And his whole world falls apart.
A heartfelt and fanciful contemporary romance novella, How a 
Star Falls explores the uncertain season of new adulthood and shows that 
sometimes the worst inconveniences make for the best miracles of all.
My Review: 5 Stars 
I almost never read contemporary fiction. 
It just doesn’t interest me the way fantasy or historical do, but I was 
intrigued by the premise and mystery of Amber’s story. Once I started, it drew 
me right in, and I read the whole thing in one sitting. It is wonderfully 
written, and the romance is adorable. I loved that it was written almost all 
from the guy’s point-of-view. Derrick was a great character, and Amber did a 
great job fleshing him out. She also perfectly captured how, when you reach 
adulthood, things don’t always turn out the way you dreamed when you were young, 
but it can still lead to a bright and even better future. I highly recommend 
How a Star Falls. It’s both cute and real. I wish there was more clean 
new adult fiction like this. Don’t miss out on reading this lovely little story!

a smile." - Joanne Bischof, award winning author of This Quiet Sky 
"Amber Stokes has perfectly expressed the challenges of 
twenty-something life in her sweet contemporary new adult novella, How a Star 
Falls. Brielle and Derrick's journey reminds us all of the search to find 
ourselves in the midst of young adulthood. Their story is charming and wistful 
with emotions we can all relate to experiencing at some point in our lives. It 
is a tale about letting go in order to find yourself once again while never 
losing the importance of who you are...and who you can be." - Cerella
