An anthology of poems with feeling about lovers, family, and society. Things I Felt for You, Them, Everyone and Everything is a raw and deeply personal collection of poetry that captures the harsh transition from girlhood to womanhood. Lauren Gil navigates the complex landscape of human emotion, ranging from the tender warmth of a mother's love to the biting sting of a father's neglect. Structured like a journey of growth, the collection moves through twenty distinct reflections that tackle the heavy unseen or ignored realities of modern life: patriarchy, body image, spiritual frustration, and the haunting "what-ifs" of a life not yet lived. This anthology is for the dreamers, the survivors, and the young women who are learning that they are more than a pretty face, they are a force to be reckoned with. A special thank you to Ms. MoGo, Dr. Louis who inspired me to publish this, my mother for putting up with my crazy ideas, and to everyone who has came into my life and shined it to the max.

In a world where time blurs and love crosses centuries, Cecilia Haverleigh, a sixteen year old from Georgia is caught in a deadly cycle she never asked for. Pulled from her own time and trapped in the eerie Harrington estate, she is promised a future as Henry Harrington's bride - but the price is far greater than a simple wedding vow. Haunted by cryptic notes from ancestors lost to the same fate, Cecilia uncovers a dark legacy: every woman in her bloodline lured into a twisted marriage, trapped between eras, their very existence erased if they refuse or try to escape. Henry's love is possessive and ruthless - a curse that must be broken or endured. Torn between a mysterious past and a fragile hope, Cecilia must navigate danger, desire, and deception to reclaim her freedom. As she builds a fragile trust with Mattheo - a beacon of kindness in a shadowed world - the lines between love and obsession blur, and the cost of defiance grows deadly. Will Cecilia break the cycle before she becomes just another name in the dark history? Or will love turn to ruin, and the past consume her forever?
