You are faced with so many decisions you didn't think you'd have to make that early on in your life but you still gotta make them. In this book am really just offering advice in relation to what l went or am going through. Am talking the baby blues,being judged,bouncing back etc. Can l make it clear l am not promoting teenage pregnancy RATHER l am writing this unfiltered story as a revelation to the rest about how difficult it is and to many fellow young mommies it's meant to uplift you and get you back on your grind because you can still be everything and anything you wanted to be. That's about it. Stick around❤️

"I didn't survive to be brave. I survived because someone needed me." She survived by keeping her heart guarded. He grew up believing care could be gentle. Kaida has learned how to endure-quietly, fiercely, and without asking for help. Love, to her, is a risk she can't afford. Music is work, not confession, and softness is something meant for other people. But when her carefully controlled world collides with someone who offers patience instead of pressure, Kaida is forced to confront a terrifying question: what if love doesn't hurt the way it used to? A slow-burn romance about trauma, healing, and learning that survival doesn't have to be the end of the story.

"“Mom, I think I’m pregnant,” her voice trailed off, she stared at her hands. [She] rotated her body, striking Amy across the cheek. The cheap ring on her finger made a mark."

Inspired by Ernest Hemingway's "Hills like White Elephants", "Synthetic White Elephants" deals with two divergent desires and oppression, as well as modern-day expectations and struggles.
