Immigration Stories

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION. It only takes one moment to change your life forever . . . After her mother's deportation last year, all Soledad "Sol" Gutierrez wants is for her life to go back to normal. Everything's changed-new apartment, new school, new family dynamic-and Sol desperately wants to fit in. When she joins her community college's history club, it comes with an odd initiation process: break into Westray's oldest house and steal . . . a fork? There's just one problem: while the owners of the house aren't home, their grandson Ethan is, and when he catches Sol with her hand in the kitchen drawer, she barely escapes with the fork intact. This one chance encounter irrevocably alters her life, and Sol soon learns that sometimes fitting in isn't as important as being yourself-even if that's the hardest thing she's ever had to do.

WATTPAD ORIGINAL EDITION When her initiation into her college's History Club goes awry, Sol has to come face to face with Ethan-the cute guy whose house she just broke into. ***** Soledad Gutierrez, or Sol to her friends, decides to join the History Club at her Community college. However, this club is not like other clubs: they have an initiation process and a slew of other 'extracurricular activities.' In order to join the club, Sol must break into the oldest house in her small Californian town and steal one of their forks. The club members provide all the materials to break in; she just needs to take the utensil, take a selfie in the kitchen, and get out undetected-with the fork, of course. The problem is: Ethan Winston spots Sol in his grandparent's house, and he's determined to uncover the reason behind the break-in. However, both he and Sol are thrown for a loop when feelings begin to develop between them. And as Ethan becomes suspicious of the History Club, he and Sol get tangled in an adventure none of them were expecting.

Every day feels exactly the same. Sara wakes up at 5:00 a.m., goes to school, comes home, and disappears behind the glow of a screen. Behind closed doors, her family is falling apart. Her parents' violent arguments have become a part of everyday life, and while they struggle to survive, Sara quietly becomes the one raising her younger siblings. No one notices how exhausted she is. No one asks if she's okay. Until one day, she reaches her breaking point. As her life hangs by a thread, impossible memories flood her mind, memories of a girl from 1822, a sister she has never met, and a life that feels more real than her own. But those memories are only the beginning. Some stories don't begin in this lifetime. And some memories are waiting to be remembered.

Aurelius's duties as a Fulton include keeping his name clean, marrying within his kind, and making sure the town of Rockport returns as it once did in all its glory-before different people started flocking it and taking it as their own. Then and only then, would he be able to receive his family's support to become the town's new mayor, as his grandfather and the previous Fulton's before him, and claim his rightful inheritance. Alba Fuentes can only further her education if she gets as many scholarships as possible available, and, if her softball coach shows her some grace, letting her return to the team and earn the recognition of college scouts for a free ride. Still, she isn't sure that is something she can do, as her family needs her paychecks. But when Aurelius-her former bully-starts helping her get her spot back in the team, Alba allows herself to be selfish and think about her own future. She's wary of him until she finds he has his own set of chains keeping him from building a life to his will. Forgiving and forgetting isn't easy, but as Alba and Aurelius start seeing each other's worlds through their eyes and meeting halfway old prejudices melt, being replaced by their unconditional support to one another. **Disclaimer** The town of Rockport and the last name Fulton are, while historically connected, used for pure fiction. Any racism, misogynistic comments, and prejudiced actions are, likewise, not related to the people and families of the town nor the Coastal Bend area.

At twenty-seven, Hellen is living in Munich, unemployed, financially dependent on her mother, and trying to understand what kind of future is still possible for her. But her story did not begin with becoming a NEET. She was born in Georgia, survived the 2008 war in Gori, moved to Germany as a child, learned a new language, grew up as a foreigner, and later faced paranoid schizophrenia, depression, psychiatric treatment, and years of trying to rebuild her life. Now she spends her days making abstract art, thinking about artificial intelligence, worrying about jobs that may not exist in ten years, and wondering whether adulthood is still waiting for her somewhere. She is fascinated by AI and afraid of it. She uses it to create, even as she watches AI-assisted art outperform the work she makes by hand. She dreams about teaching, writing, independence, and a future with more possibilities than her present seems to offer.

This is not a story written after everything worked out. It is a story written from the middle of the uncertainty. From someone who survived her past and is still trying to figure out her future.

Such individuals may gain social or political capital by presenting themselves as exceptions to their group, even if doing so comes at the expense of their broader community.
