Ryan Lewis is known as a lot of things: a wife, a mother, a co-worker. However, the one thing she is not known as is weak. At 27 years old, she has gone through more than most people will in their entire life. When her past begins to creep up on her, will she give up or will she emerge resilient?
This story follows Ryan, her wife Eden, and their two adopted children, Blake and Zuri. Resilient explores topics such as homophobia, racism, mental health, and bigotry. I do not recommend this story for children under the age of 16 and this story is marked as mature.

What will happen when more and more problems get thrown at her? Will she stay strong or will she crumble? "Growing up in a fragile home isn't romantic.

When your younger brother flinches every time your father looks at him, it isn't comedic. When your little sister is always scared and muttering to herself and constantly getting thinner it isn't adorable. When your drunken father gambles away your college funds it isn't comedic. When you have to become the mother of your younger siblings it isn't brave. What it is, is tragic." WARNING: This story has some mature themes. Reader discretion advised.Complete
