"The Wild Flower" is a haunting, unfiltered narrative of a girl named Heather George, who has grown up learning to hide pain as if it were shameful. In a world where softness is a luxury she was never granted, Heather navigates a life carved by emotional hunger, generational trauma, and unspoken grief. Her bathtub becomes a sanctuary and a battlefield-a place where she flirts with silence, where drowning seems gentler than surviving. This is not a story about healing. Not yet. It's about what happens before-when you're too angry to die but too broken to live. When survival feels like decay in slow motion.

In poetic, razor-sharp prose, The Wild Flower peels back the layers of growing up poor, unloved, and unnoticed. A raw coming-of-age tale for anyone who's ever hated the girl with the clean dress, the soft voice, and the love they never got.

Eternal Echoes by JoanneLo22

⚠️ Warning Below This is the story of a little girl who learned to grow in the silence-like a wildflower blooming through cracks in concrete. She lived in a house of shadows, where the walls whispered violence, and silence became her shield. Her days were shaped by what was unspoken-by hands that harmed, by trust that fractured, by love that came laced with pain. But even in that stillness, something stirred. Instead of drowning in the quiet, she began to listen-to the words of others who had walked through similar storms. Their stories were not just stories. They were maps, mirrors, and lifelines. Through their truths, she began to uncover her own. Now, she turns inward and outward, breaking her own silence-not with a scream, but with a steady voice that has waited a lifetime to be heard. This book is not just about trauma. It is about the bones of a broken girl who built a life from what was left behind. It's about grief, and the ghosts of family. About the way innocence can be stolen, yet spirit still survives. It's about the quiet power of letting go. But above all-it's about freedom. The kind you find not by fighting, but by finally releasing what was never yours to carry. And if even one soul finds a piece of themselves in these pages, then her voice, at last, has done what silence could not. ⚠️WARNING Author's Note & Content Warning: This is a deeply personal and emotional story that touches on domestic violence and childhood sexual abuse. While written to bring awareness, healing, and understanding, I recognise these topics may be distressing for some readers.

Not My Fault by Flowingin1Direction

💔 Not My Fault - The Story of a Girl Who Forgot How to Breathe Serene doesn't speak unless spoken to. She says sorry before she says hello. She writes to someone she's never met - because that's the only place she feels safe. Home was never home. Love never looked like love. And survival meant disappearing, even in plain sight. But then, someone notices. He sees the flinches. The forced smiles. The fear in her breath. And for the first time in her life, someone doesn't look away. This isn't about a girl who falls in love. It's about a girl who finally learns she's not to blame. Not for the bruises. Not for the silence. Not for the hurt she never asked for. It's not her fault. Maybe... it was never her fault at all. A raw, soul-baring journey through abuse, healing, and the quiet kind of love that doesn't fix you - but sits beside you while you do.

THE EDGE OF NINETEEN(19)(EDITING) by Veran_dra

"Some stories aren't just written-they're survived." Heaven never planned to fall apart quietly. Nineteen was supposed to be her year of survival. Instead, it became the year everything unraveled-family, friendships, and the walls she built around her pain. Diagnosed with BPD, trapped between silence and screams, and carrying scars she thought no one could love, she was certain the world had forgotten her. Then came Chase-gentle, persistent, and painfully human. What began as an accidental connection in a library became the lifeline she never knew she needed. This is not a love story in the way you expect. It's about healing in slow, aching pieces. It's about therapy sessions, midnight breakdowns, found family, and daring to believe in something softer. It's about what happens when you stop surviving and start living. And maybe, just maybe-find someone worth fighting your way back for. Raw. Real. Relatable. If you've ever been on the edge of something-grief, love, adulthood, or your own mind-this book is for you. ---
