Everybody has the awesome opportunity to find their own strength and path through life. Some come about their self-discoveries through studying and working hard. Others (Chelsea) spend their time nearly burning down kitchens and driving around the country with a car full of hangers.
Chelsea grew up wanting to be “strong.” She thought arguing her way through childhood and becoming a world-class attorney would get her there. But, through a series of humorous, and only slightly embarrassing events, Chelsea comes to realize that maybe her strength is meant to shine in different ways.

Enjoy an Excerpt:
“FTL’s biggest client was a fabric design company that made
nothing but Hawaiian prints. I’m actually pretty sure they no longer make
anything, but rather spend good chunks of their time suing other companies who
copy their designs. For me, it meant perusing catalogues and clothing websites
in search of items with designs similar to this company’s retired fabrics. How
great a job is that, by the way? I was getting paid to look for shirts with
palm trees and hibiscus flowers on them. This whole law thing was too good to
be true.
My best assignment came when FTL caught wind that a men’s
underwear line was infringing on our client’s design name. She came by and
dropped a stack of male lingerie catalogues (yes, they exist) on my desk to go
through in search of this name. I spent the better part of a week looking at
pictures at mostly-naked men with socks stuffed in their skivvies.
Nobody knew what to do with me. On one hand, studying
oiled-up men in scandalous poses just had to be against any number of company
policies. On the other hand, I was legitimately doing work in an effort to make
the law firm money, so they couldn’t discourage it. In the end, they just left
me alone. And that’s how I learned that you can buy men’s briefs with
pre-padded butt cheeks.”
