# Confidential Diary #16 This anthology issue contains two stories exploring romantic entanglement and identity confusion. The first story follows a woman torn between two men, with the cover promising to reveal "which love is real" amid her glamorous but conflicted present life and forgotten past. The second story depicts a woman's rushed wedding day that becomes complicated when she encounters a man from her past at the church—a boy she had known two years prior—creating confusion about whether her fiancé and this returning figure are the same person, ultimately leading to the revelation that she has been misled about both men's identities.

Karen Fleming's world shatters when she spots her boyfriend Doug Moore leaving his office with another woman—but Doug insists there's more to the story than what she witnessed.

Sally West's ordinary Tuesday as a typist at an insurance company takes an unexpected turn when a series of clumsy encounters lead her to meet Don Morgan, the company's charming new office manager.

This 1963 romance captures how a single day can reshape an entire life.

Hearts and Homeruns

Marsha Whitney has spent her high school years pining for Ray Talbot, a boy so obsessed with baseball he barely knows she exists—until a chance encounter during the summer after graduation forces them to finally see each other. When Ray realizes he's missed his chance, he tracks her down to ask her out, and what begins as a moment of frustration blooms into something neither expected.

God is Never Out of Style
1 pp · Advocacy, Religious

A young man faces pressure from his peers to skip church and join them at the beach instead of honoring his faith and family traditions.
