Backpackers Stories

At twenty-seven, Anne has become an expert at pretending she's fine. So she does the only logical thing: she books a one-way ticket to Australia. What starts as a backpacking adventure soon becomes so much more. In Melbourne, Anne finds a place that feels like home, builds a life she never expected, discovers a family she never knew she needed, and meets Carter-a firefighter whose biggest battle has never been the emergencies he faces at work, but the ones he keeps buried inside himself. As Anne slowly learns to embrace the person she's becoming, she and Carter discover that love doesn't always arrive at the right time. Because no matter how much you care about someone, some wounds can only be healed from within. But not every adventure lasts forever. When Anne returns to the Netherlands, she discovers that finding yourself is one thing... not losing yourself when you return to your old life might be the hardest part of all. 27, and Still Figuring It Out is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about found family, healing, love, loss, and discovering that life rarely goes according to plan-and maybe that's exactly the point. For anyone who's ever felt lost, started over, or wondered if everyone else received a manual for life except them. ⸻ Disclaimer: This story was originally written in Dutch and has been translated into English. While every effort has been made to preserve the original tone and emotion, some Dutch expressions, cultural references and subtle nuances may not translate exactly as intended. Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy Anne's journey.

A Novel by Marty Moore Some cries for help were never meant to be answered. In the mist-drenched forests of Oregon, the campfire stories all end the same way. A girl, bloodied and bound to a tree. A cry for help that echoes through the pines. And the warning whispered by every local who's heard the tale- If you untie her, you die. When journalist Allison Reid sets out to investigate a string of missing hikers in the Pacific Northwest, she expects superstition, not evidence. But the deeper she ventures into the woods, the more she discovers that every legend hides a kernel of truth-and some are rooted in something older, darker, and mercilessly alive. Half ghost story, half psychological descent, Tied to the Tree unspools the haunting folklore of a forest that tests human compassion itself. In a place where mercy means death, and indifference means survival, one question remains: Would you untie her?
