What does it actually feel like to be erased? Everyone talks about the Winter Soldier like he's just this scary story, but they don't see the parts that got buried along the way. They see the missions and the name, but they weren't there when his whole life was being ripped apart. They didn't see him being broken down and rebuilt into someone he doesn't even recognize. People remember the name. But they have no idea what was lost to make it.

[Copyright © 2014] In 1943, Charlotte Truly is a nineteen-year-old American nurse serving in World War II. The oldest of four daughters, Charlotte is mostly a shy and reserved girl who keeps to herself. But when Charlotte meets William McCaden, an injured soldier on leave whom she'd briefly met when she was seventeen, she finds herself falling inexplicably in love. When Will is shipped overseas to Nazi-occupied France to fight in a deadly combat mission, Charlotte and Will have only their letters to keep each other close... but in the midst of war, how can love possibly survive? ----- DISCLAIMER: This work was written when I, Raine the author, was 14 years old (circa 2014) and is a FIRST DRAFT. Certain aspects of this story are highly problematic and should rightfully be called out. Please do bear in mind, however, that the entirety of what you see here was written (unedited) by a 14-year-old girl. Now, I as a 20-year-old writing student am fully aware of my mistakes and would like to apologize profusely for them. They are not reflective of my present character by any means and I can assure you that I FULLY condemn the slut-shaming, misogyny, white saviorism, racism, and the general oversimplification of vastly complex themes and historical contexts you might see in Yours Truly (2014). As much as I would like to chalk it all up to being a sign of the times (the very backwards 1940s), I understand now how I should have handled this particular time period with more tact and discretion. Especially with how I recklessly portrayed the horrific racial climate of the 1940s American South. Again, I am very sorry and can wholeheartedly promise you that any later drafts of Yours Truly would 100% rework all of these themes and contexts with the utmost of consideration towards the communities they affect directly. Thank you. -Raine, Feb. 11/2021

A 1940's Interracial Love Story

In the gilded cage of post-WWII American high society, sixteen-year-old Aveline Grace Chamberlain is a paradox. Blessed with an angelic face that belies a sharp, intimidating intellect and a soul of profound quietude, she has always been an observer, never a participant. Educated within the cold, marble walls of her family's mansion after failing to connect with her peers, Aveline's world is one of silent libraries and distant parents, a life meticulously arranged but emotionally barren. Her carefully constructed isolation is shattered when her father, a powerful financier aiding Europe's recovery, brings home a new protegé. Hendrik Smolders, a twenty-year-old Dutch immigrant with a promising future and a past shadowed by loss, is everything Aveline is not: worldly, resilient, and connected to the harsh realities she has only ever read about. Now, living under the same roof, Aveline is forced to navigate the unsettling and unfamiliar terrain of human connection. This is the story of a guarded heart beginning to thaw, a melancholic romance between a lonely heiress who built walls to protect herself and a young man who, having lost everything, might just be the key to helping her find what it means to truly live.
