All of a sudden, I feel a pair of arms wrap around me. I struggle, trying to shove out of their grasp, but they have me stuck. Pushing and kicking, I try to release myself, and after a moment I settle, knowing I have been cornered. I stand in the vast emptiness, the vision vanishing before me, as I realize the arms are caressing my skin, calming to the tips of my toes. My heart slows, as I admit defeat in this sanctuary of comfort. ... Life for fourteen year old Anna Clarke has become a daily struggle. Her past haunts her, and her future is daunting. Crippling into depression at a young age, Anna finds no hope, and no reason to continue the endlessly dark tunnel she calls life. But her mind comes to the rescue, as her subconscious starts to portray a world of reassuring and love, in the form of her dreams, in which a stranger comforts her and fills her with a light she could never have imagined. Anna still finds little motive to have hope, but dreams do come true, don't they? ... Warning: There are some depression and anxiety scenes in this book, as well as slightly violent ones. Please continue at your own risk, as I do care about your well-being.

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023
