Shattered Bonds
Sixteen-year-old Brooke has endured a life overshadowed by the emotional and physical abuse inflicted by her father. His death, while bringing a fragile hope of freedom, unleashes an unforeseen storm. His will forces her into the unfamiliar territory of a large, estranged family: five half-brothers she never knew existed. Each brother carries his own burdens, his own secrets, and his own scars from a shared, dysfunctional past. This novel explores the intricate dance between trauma and family dynamics, delving into the complexities of sibling relationships forged in the aftermath of abuse and neglect. Brooke's journey is one of confronting her past, battling self-doubt and self-harm, and learning to navigate the treacherous waters of trust and betrayal. It's a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and the gradual, painstaking process of healing. We will witness her struggle against the lingering effects of trauma, the constant battle against flashbacks and nightmares, and her desperate attempts to establish connections amidst the suspicion and mistrust that permeates her new family. This story is not about simple resolutions or neat endings. It is a realistic portrayal of the arduous path toward emotional recovery and self-acceptance. It's about the power of human connection, the strength found in unexpected places, and the possibility of building a fulfilling life even when burdened by the scars of the past. It is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit and the possibility of finding belonging, even when fractured and broken. It's a story about healing, but also about hope-a hope that blossoms amidst the ruins.Complete
Scars and Maybes | TO BE PUBLISHED
Wounds heal, but scars remain. So even with the possibility that one can accept and move forward, it's impossible to forget. Because there will always be an irremovable mark that will remind you of every bit of pain. Growing up without a mother was Zarih's first heartache. It scarred her more than anything else. She sees how her dad grieves for her mom all the time-even after years-and it breaks her. When Zarih learned about the possibility that she might have inherited her mother's heart disease, she knew she couldn't afford to love because she wouldn't want anyone to suffer at her death. She wouldn't want to love someone just to wound him at the end. It was easy not to fall in love, only if Ace Timotheo Salvador, her summer enemy, didn't dare touch her scars... as if they were the most beautiful parts of her existence. Zarih feels like losing it... She wants to love and be loved. Maybe he can heal her scars. Maybe their story is different from her dad's. Maybe they can have a happy ending. Or maybe... She should've not risked it at all. Maybe she could've not scarred her heart more. Finished: July 21, 2022Complete

Shattered
⚠️THIS STORY IS OLD. IT ISN'T VERY GOOD. THE OTHER BOOK IS BETTER⚠️ Adeline was a good kid. She worked hard, took care of herself, and didn't let anybody push her around. At least that's what the kids at school thought. But, like most people, she had secrets. Things nobody knew about her. Nobody knew her mother and stepfather hated her. Nobody knew she lived alone with her best friend. Nobody knew that, outside of school, she was a totally different person. Nobody knew what she had been through, and all the things that left her shattered. This is how she lived her life. This is the only life she had ever known. But what would happen if all of that changed? Could one school lecture, a mishap at the courthouse, and a DNA test change her life forever? For the better or for the worst, Adeline's life is about to change. And for once in her life, she might not have to keep so many secrets. ********************************* Started: 6/18/2022 Finished: 7/29/2022 © 2022 Taylor Sassone Cover by my awesome sister @owlhootsburger13Complete
