One of the favourite lessons reading books has taught me is that you're never alone, not alteast in thoughts and words. There are others who think like you, feel like you and react like you. It's like that sometimes, our unspoken thoughts are the bridges that connect us, even though we might be miles apart. And so, I've written them down in the hope that there are many out there in this world who would be willing to walk these bridges leading to me-the real, raw and unhidden self I am- my heart and mind and soul. And I really want to walk over to your side and feel what you are like. You are the one to decide whether you want to build 'em or not... ----------------- Cover by me!

One More Step To You by kenseighrae

After six years of taking care of everyone else, Emily no longer knows who she is. At eighteen, Emily gave up her future to care for her sister Julie, who was battling cancer, and Julie's two young daughters. Emily became a surrogate mother, a caretaker, the steady presence the family needed. Then Julie went into remission, recovered, and needed something Emily hadn't expected - Julie needed her sister to let go. Julie needed to reclaim her life, to be a mother to her daughter's again, to pick up the pieces of her life before her illness. Suddenly Emily found herself without a purpose, lost without the survival mode she had been in the last six years, unsure of who she was if she wasn't taking care of other people. She moved apartments, moved towns, and struggled to figure out who she was now, who she wanted to be. Then one day she happened upon a book about the Appalachian Trail, and it sparked a wild, crazy idea. With nothing to lose, Emily sets out to hike the Appalachian Trail, hoping the vast endlessness of the wilderness will help her rediscover who she once was - and the woman she's meant to become. As she journey's through the rugged mountain trails, however, she soon realizes she might not just find herself on this trail... she might also find love.

My Journey to Widowhood by SunshineC761

This is my story of falling in love, dealing with a roller coaster of emotions while caring for my husband through his illness, his passing, and living with my grief. Knowing the outcome, it was his choice to not receive a heart transplant.

Journey: Into The Never-ending Way by fellow1945

Why does one travel from a well known neighborhood to another where the outcome of the visit is not yet understood? I could name the streets and places in my neighborhood. There was a well defined map in my head that used comfortable explanations for what to expect. Then, everything changed. I drove up the hill, parked the car in a familiar place. When I walked into the house all the furniture was the same. Yet, when I sat beside him everything I knew went away. My mind was empty, only able to engage in superficial talk. I was afraid of his cancer. I didn't know what to say or how to help. I was lost in the whole sorry business. I gave him what comfort my presence was good for and, he gracefully accepted it like a brother would. Behind the warmest smile I could draw up was a deserted beach, waves of questions washing against my feet. A great ocean met the horizon and disappeared somewhere beyond where eyes could take a mind. Where would the questions take me? Where do you start such a quest?

Coming Out of The Wilderness by KenMcduffie

This book is about helping believers and new believers of God, come out of their own wilderness. A wilderness is more so an expression of the state of our minds and where we are in a journey with Christ and follow him into our destiny. The topics of backsliding, encountering with God, witchcraft and demonic religions, and the power of praying and reading the word are heavily discussed in this book. I didn't expect for this book to have 12 chapters but by the grace of God I was able to produce all 12 chapters and make sure it was a message in every chapter there is. My desire for this book is to help people draw closer to God when going through hard times and not give in to the devil and his ways, realize when you're in the wilderness it's better to draw closer to God and not draw away from him. God is our number one source and the highest power on this earth and outside of this world you can find, there's no one like him. I hope this book touches your heart and opens your eyes to lean not on your own understanding but lean of the understanding of the lord.

Paint Us Gray: Part 1 by actressesumner

Rejection. Betrayal. Heartbreak. Grief. Unfortunately, we've all had a swallow, some more than others, of this bitter brew. This is just a sliver of my chapter that is a part of this world's grand narrative; it's about one person's toe dipping into the brokenness of the Earth, and the ripples, waves, tsunamis it created in her life. A couple of months ago, while consoling a friend grieving the loss of a relationship, he asked me a question no one had ever asked me before. A very vulnerable and powerful question. I had been sharing some of my own similar experiences with him when he messaged me that life changing question, "And, what did you see at the top of the mountain?" While his words were just letters on a screen, I could see the hunger in his eyes, hear the desperation in his voice, sense the overwhelming thirst of a person climbing up an incredibly steep and treacherous mountain. What did I see at the top of the mountain? This book is my answer to this question. Let's go for a hike.
