How do you heal when the world keeps breaking you? How do you protect what you love most... when what has to heal you is breaking you down day by day? Mira is in labor-not with a child, but with a story. A story that bleeds with the pain of mental illness, self-hate, and the small, trembling joys of holding on to the tiniest hopes of becoming whole. Not because she is muscular, but because she has a heart that dares to battle with her soul. Between panic attacks, failed therapy sessions, and the ghosts of her past, she fights to stay afloat in a world that doesn't know how to hold her. The letters! The letters that make her emotions spiral-anchor her to a wishful love of gentle, healthy masculinity. Levi, a man who is not perfect but reads her like a book he has reread a million times, is exactly what she needed but never dared to wish for. MIRA is a modern African novel about girlhood, mental health, and the slow resurrection of self-love. If you've ever whispered, "Maybe tomorrow I'll believe it's my turn..." then this story is for you. 💛

The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th-century England. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London.

S O W E D: Words planted to grow into love. Highest Rank - #1 in POETRY The bravest thing I've ever done was not forgetting how to love myself when everyone else did

Lenora did not have a wonderful life. After her engagement to Prince Ronan is broken, she loses everything... her reputation, her home, and her family. Starving on the streets, she dies angry and bitter at how her life unfolded... Only to wake up in her old bed, fifteen again, five years before she died. Now she must struggle to change her fate, and the fate of those around her. This time she won't trust in something as flimsy or changeable as love. No, this time she'll have the power and the money to protect herself. Lenora has already lost everything once. She's not going to lose again. No matter what the cost. (Cover submitted by @QueenHelmer)
