Traumatotriumph Stories

The Silence That Speaks by Abby Wren This is a book about the things we don't always say out loud. About pain, love, memory, and finding yourself again. Each poem is a piece of my journey - through silence, through sorrow, through strength. Maybe you'll see a bit of yourself in these pages. Maybe they'll help you feel a little less alone.

She ran from the silence. Now she's learning how to speak again. After escaping a life of control, exploitation, and pain, Janiah arrives in the small Southern town of Leeville with nothing but a backpack, a bruised heart, and a sliver of hope. At New Steps House, a transitional home for young women rebuilding their lives, Janiah finds herself surrounded by strangers who carry their own scars-and a quiet strength she's never known. Here, healing isn't loud. It's in the soft opening of a bedroom window. In letters folded with care. In the question, "Are you okay?" asked like it matters. But just as she begins to rebuild, a new girl arrives with a familiar look in her eyes-and Janiah must decide whether she'll just survive her past or step up to help someone else survive theirs. A powerful story of resilience, sisterhood, and reclaiming your voice, After the Silence is a soulful continuation of Janiah's journey toward freedom-and what it means to belong to yourself again.

Everyone wears a mask... but hers hides more than a face. Amara is the quiet new girl-mysterious, unreadable, and always hidden behind a black velvet mask. No one knows why. No one dares to ask. Until Jayden, a boy drawn to broken things, decides to uncover the truth. But what he finds is a past soaked in pain, secrets that could shatter everything, and a girl trying desperately not to fall apart. As secrets unravel and emotions ignite, will Amara finally remove the mask-or will it become the only thing keeping her safe? A story of love, trauma, and the courage it takes to be seen.

In the gritty heart of Detroit, where broken dreams litter the streets like rusted-out cars, Aurora "Mack" Mackley Sinclair is fighting to rebuild more than just engines-she's rebuilding her life. Raised by an abusive father and a mother who checked out long ago, Mack learned early that survival meant grit, hustle, and protecting her siblings at all costs. Her escape? The roar of an engine. Under the hood is where she finds control, peace-and power. Now, she's wrenching for Detroit's underground street racing elite. But Mack doesn't just want to fix the cars. She wants to drive them. The speed. The thrill. The freedom. Racing is her shot at something more-her way out of a life that's always kept her in the rearview mirror. But in Detroit, racing is more than just a game. It's dangerous, dirty, and deadly. To chase her dream, Mack will have to risk everything: defy her broken family, face down brutal street rivalries, and confront the ghosts that still chase her through every gear shift. Enter Kiernan James Blackthorn-Detroit's reigning street king. Cold, calculated, and faster than anyone else on the pavement, Kiernan is everything Mack can't stand... and everything she can't ignore. Their rivalry sparks like friction on hot asphalt-volatile, electric, and impossible to outrun. But when rivalries turn personal and hearts get tangled in the wreckage, Mack has to ask herself: Is the need to win worth losing everything else-including herself? Or can the right kind of fire be the one that saves her? Midnight Asphalt: Fueling the Fire is a high-octane ride through betrayal, desire, and the fierce fight to take control of your story-no matter the scars left behind.
