Hello, 

Penny Harris and her brothers, Michael and Stephen, stayed with my family for four months during the summer of 1993. I hope these letters are making it to the right person. I found them in two shoe boxes in my basement almost ten years ago, and I've kept them safe ever since. 

I know you might get mad at me, Penny (if you are her), for reading your personal writings, but you've been gone for so long, and Frankie didn't think you'd care. Anyway, I found this address scrawled on the back of one of the letters recently, so I decided to send them back to where they belong. 

If these do get to you, I just wanted to say I admire your strength and courage, and I'm sorry for all the hell you went through. If you're not Penny, I hope you find these as enlightening, heartbreaking, and inspiring as I have.

Sincerely,

Letters For You by alexeboileau

This is going to be weird. At first at least. I haven't talked to you in over a year, but the teacher said we should use this diary to express our emotions and the only one I could ever be one hundred percent honest with is you. Those letters to you are worth 25% of my final grade so I must find some interesting things to talk to you about. It's going to be good for me too. It'll help me move on. Help me live my life again. I just hope that it will get easier because for now, just imagining talking to you every week brings it all back, all those feelings. I still hope that, one day, you will read those letters for real. That they won't just be a way to keep you in my mind. I'm not stupid, I know that you will never read them but imagining that you will helps me write what I really want to say. So this is for you, I hope you will enjoy. With all my love, Emily

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

Streets by Ashess_xx

*previously was known as adopted into a family of bad boys* "I always got the blunt of the burden... I always took the blunt of the burden..." I pause "I made a promise and I am not going to break it... there is no way I am going to let him lay a figure Alexey or Alec" tears formed in my eyes "I always did what's best for my family... I always will" I fought back the tears not looking them in the eye "he already took my mother, he is not going to take away them" I raised my voice "I am going to do whatever it take to stop him from lay a hand on anyone I love!" I started yelling, "even if I die in process" I was quieter again, I couldn't look them in the eye "Nicole you can't--" "nothing you say! Nothing you do! is going to stop me from doing what best for my family, for the ones I love... you can't stop me... no one can" I cut of Jay and looked him in the eye, a tear rolling down my face "I thank you father for adopting us... I thank you three for excepting us, I truly do... no matter how much I have grown to love you guys, you can't stop me" another tear rolled down my cheek "I am not just protecting Alexey and Alec anymore... he knows I love you, he will hurt anyone I love" I zipped my jacket up "please let me protect the ones I love... look after Alexey and Alec for me... please..." the three hugged me, Jay was in front of me, I silently cried into his chest "Stay safe Nicole" Jay whispered "We will take care of Alexia and Alec, but we can't replace you," Kaleb whispered from my right "Promise us you will come back" Ryan looked me in the eye causing more tears to come down "I will try my best, thank you" I walked out leaving my family behind, tear streaming down my face. I am doing the right thing, I am doing what is best for them. **trust me this books gets better the more you go, more of an intro inside**

Found Family by ReaderPanda8

It wasn't a question but I answered anyway "Of course. They are family." "What if they don't feel the same way?" "Then that's understandable. They had their trust broken at a very early age by the people who were supposed to protect and love them. I have been very open with them and have told them several times that they are family to me now. I have also said that if they don't feel the same then that's okay. Either way it's my job to protect and love them" This story embodies the trope of Found Family. I originally wrote it as a comfort story for myself, but figured someone else might also need the same comfort I get from it.

Then he came along by Kuchi_m_s04

My life could be described in three words. Loving but unloved. I knew my whole family cared less about me and many who were close to us knew it. It was an undeniable fact.Some would say I was ungrateful because my parents gave me everything- everything except their love. At times I prayed to God to give me another family but I knew better than that. He always has reasons for doing all things. I was raised in a home with 9 other siblings so at first I thought it was due to that fact. But it wasn't. They loved, cared and spoilt all my siblings. It stung each time I saw how happy they were even without me. It was like I never even existed. However, I existed just as the Hunts little secret and as the family black sheep. They thought I had some mental problem but I didn't. On another hand, I remained hopeful that my family would come to love me for who I was. I remained hopeful that my parents would shower me with the same love they did my siblings. But then he came along and changed everything.

After Alice by Crewza4

When Liv unravels a mystery that has haunted her adopted family for decades, she must confront painful truths about her own abandonment. After her mother shows little interest in finding her lost half-sister, 16-year-old Liv commits to reconnecting her adoptive family. With the help of her attractive history teacher, Liv opens up about her past and relives painful memories of being orphaned in an abusive cult. The discovery of a series of letters from her late grandmother to the child she left behind reveals a devastating cycle of abandonment that only Liv has the power to stop. Cover design by Joleene Naylor I dedicate this book to my maternal grandmother, Alice, and to my mother and aunt who generously shared their memories with me.

My Story by Kasper14

Life isn't easy. Never has been, never will be. If someone tells you their life is easy then they are lying because everyone has something going on in their life that makes it harder. My life is definitely not easy. There are times when things are good but life is never easy. This is my story... **** A/N: Not actually about me, this is not a real book and definitely not about me. I'm not the best writer but I enjoy writing. If there are any mistakes then I am sorry and hopefully I will fix them but no guarantees. I'm not very good at descriptions but a lot happens in the book so up to you if you read it or not.

SEPARATED BY CHOICE by Annadepao

*COMPLETED* This must be our Lake house I inspect the rest of the house and pull down the string that leads up to the attic I head up and there's boxes piled up full of dust. I switch on the light and look through the boxes I see a box filled with pictures and carry it down the steps I close the attic door and head to the lounge sitting on the floor I look through the pictures of my mom and dad holding Jasmine and myself and Jamie-Lynn and Josh. Why would they keep this away from me does everybody know besides me? tears start running down my face I sit sobbing on the floor looking at the pictures my whole life was a lie. Why would they do this to my sister to their own daughter have this people no heart.

Attached By String by ikc_writes

Elsie Taylor knew nothing more than the life that involved the constant moving around. She had always thought that it was normal to not have a place to call home, as she was too young to understand what was really going on. "I knew nothing more than the 100 of states and countries that I had ever stayed in" Elsie didn't know that there was a whole other side to the life she was living. She had no idea that there was people out there, searching for her, to bring her home. To get her away from the father that she had always known. The same father that had ruined her childhood. Elsie's eldest brother, Henry, was just about the only person that had ever met this little girl. Their other brothers had been too young or absent at the one time that she was seen with them, before she was whisked away from their arms. "She is just a kid. She doesn't understand what you did to her!" Now, it was their time to follow the string that would bring their little 8-year old sister back home, safely. But what happens when their is bumps in the road that leads them into trouble that may not bring everyone out safely on the other side ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TW: some themes mentioned may be disturbing for some* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Started: 28.06.23 Finished: -
