" Ma vie est aussi cabossée que mon visage. Mon nez, à lui seul, compte vingt-sept fractures. Vingt-trois proviennent de la boxe ; quatre de mon père. Les coups les plus violents, je les ai reçus de celui qui aurait dû me prendre par la main et me dire "je t'aime " ". Tim est une " mauvaise graine ". Abandonné par sa mère et battu à mort par son père, il devient à 5 ans un enfant de l'Assistance. De familles d'accueil en maisons de correction, de brutalités en humiliations, il apprend la violence et la haine. Pourtant, son immense soif de liberté et d'amour l'entraînera dans les rues de Paris, au hasard des rencontres, à la recherche d'une humanité perdue et d'un accès au bonheur... Poignant témoignage d'une enfance dévastée, cet ouvrage est aussi un magnifique éloge de l'amour, du pardon et de la vie.

Sometimes Linda just has had enough. Her long-distance relationship with Mike is complicated enough, but then he surprises her with the revelation that he has a five-year-old daughter whose heart she must win over. This proves to be no easy task. Additionally, her job at the advertising agency is taking a toll on her nerves, with stress that never seems to end and colleagues who contribute with their neuroses and macho behavior. Linda decides to take her fate into her own hands and embraces change. She quits her job to stand on her own feet. Just when she needs it, a photographer courts her and offers a new opportunity. During a photo shoot, she meets Pierre, a charming French assistant director. In Hollywood, she encounters a handsome American and several male models. With so much beauty around her, it could be overwhelming—if it weren't for Mike, the 'chocolate man' from her past.
