CALLA
My name is Calla Lind. For 20 years, I have lived within the shadow of my beautiful older sister - chasing and holding onto an illusion of love. A love that will never belong to me...

Empathetic
1/2 ------------------------------------------------ Kara. Marianna. Aaron. Emerson. Jonah. Trevor. Lily. Ms. Lewis. This is a story about unfortunate children with unfortunate problems, a special teacher to help them through it, and a clueless bystander who learns to shed her ignorance and see through the veil of pain that many of these kids dawn every day. ------------------------------------------------ This is a project I'm working on for my English class in school. It's called the 20time project. My teacher, an amazing woman, was inspired to do this project after learning about it after attending a sort of convention called Google Summit I believe. Basically, we are dedicating 20% of our time (not including after school hours) to work on a project of our choosing to somehow better the society in which we live. I chose to write a book. I thought it would be in my best interest to share.Complete
ONE LAST TEAR | Book 1 | ✓
'The tear of the butterfly had long buried in her heart, waiting to bloom.' Katya Hawthorne, the martyr of the Hawthorne family, will rewrite history if it means protecting her younger cousins. It is her duty, her desire, her sole reason for breathing. Marrying Theo for this should have been as easy as keeping her composure. Theo Hawthorne, the saviour of the Hawthorne family, will defend his family till his last breath. As the eldest, he knows his duty. Marrying Katya was as easy as commanding his company-a blessing. But blessings could easily turn into curses. And the flutter of a butterfly's wings could easily spiral into a storm. - A story that delves into the labyrinth of the heart and mind, where lines between duty and sacrifice blur, where love is as reachable as infinity. After all, the tragedy of humans is the innate ability to feel, even if it destroys them. - [Book 1 of the House of Butterflies series | Spin off to TO KILL AN ANGEL]Complete

genevieve and the band of misfits
❝So we're basically manipulating people?❞ ❝We're not manipulating anyone. We're trying to prove to people that boys don't just like girls and girls don't just like boys; that everyone is equal despite their differences; that humans should never be seen as possessions that can be toyed with for however long we deem fit. We're changing the world, one completely misguided, overly-societal high-schooler at a time.❞ ➳ And so it begins; the inevitable altering of the world, captained by Genevieve and her band of mismatched misfits.
