Thesouth Histoires

Imani has spent years grinding at a top-tier insurance firm, pulling ten-hour shifts and proving she's the best on the sales floor. When her hard work finally pays off with a massive promotion and a jump to $26 an hour, she's ready to fully embrace her "bougie" era. To celebrate, she plans an elite weekend getaway to Atlanta-designer bags, rooftop lounges, and zero stress. But the peace doesn't last long. When she meets Julian, a man who matches her fly and treats her like the queen she is, Imani thinks she's finally manifested her dream life. What she doesn't know is that Julian is the younger cousin of her ruthless workplace rival-the woman who tried to block her promotion at every turn. Julian has a secret agenda, but as the sparks fly under the city lights, the line between "the plan" and "the feelings" begins to blur. In a world where reputation is everything, Imani is about to find out that the higher you climb, the harder the fall.

Imagine never being able to truly be yourself even amongst your lifelong school friends.

What if you could go back and do it all over again? What if you could have a better family? What if you could do it over it while still being able to remember all of your past mistakes and successes? Would you do it even if it meant doing it from a completely different perspective? Would you?... This is the story of Alex Sheridan, who lived by most, a successful life. He gets a second chance at happiness after a tragic accident where he is reborn in the body of a teenage girl, and has to start all over again. After he is Reborn he begins the slow process of accepting and learning who he/she really is. As the story progresses she will learn a thing or two about herself and what she wants in life. This is also a story about what I hope is a very real family. This story does contain some cursing, some spankings, and a fair amount of craziness that you would find in a normal family. I hope you enjoy my story. Comments and suggestions are always welcomed.

18 year old Rally Richards is a typical high school senior - she loves her friends, her family, and a little underage drinking on the weekends. But when one too many beers at a bonfire leads to the accidental reveal of her deepest, darkest secret in front of the entire senior class, she thinks her life might be over. After all, being outed as a lesbian in front of a bunch of drunk teenagers in a small southern conservative town can't end well, can it? Rally's life is turned upside down - but in none of the ways she expected. Instead of finding herself an outcast, she lands the girl of her dreams and a whole new group of friends. But high school is never that easy, is it?
