In 1950s Alabama, Mary, an African American teen, desperately tries to help her friends leave an orphanage run by a cruel and racist couple: the Fletchers. One night, she meets Charlie, a white Yankee who happens to be from New York, located up North. Soon, the two orphans team up and plan their escape, while learning that despite their color, they're not so different. Will they be able to lead their friends out of the orphanage before the Fletchers' heinous plot or will it be too late to escape the past and see the future?

Minority's Voice: A Novelette, de MiaSword

On December 16, 1773, the colonists were sick of the British rule. So late at night, they went to the Boston Harbor, boarded the 3 ships, and dumped the tea into the water. This event, commonly known as "The Boston Tea Party," led to the fight for independence in America. The colonists who participated in this event were all white americans. But- what if they weren't? A different side of the same story, read about a young slave named Darcaue, who will show readers what it might have been like to be apart of such a historic event- as a black man. *This story is about 10,000 words or 18 pages long*

Books, Boys, and BFF's: Sophomore Year, de Msmarv28

"This is our beginning; you placed your fingertips on my heart and ignited something profound. I looked at you and caught a glimpse of forever. This was the birth of us, but it was also the destruction. This is how we came to be..." A.Y An overbearing father, a secret crush, and a habitual rule-breaker... what could possibly go wrong? My name is Sidney Stansfield and I am a reformed rebel. Or at least I'm trying to be. And this year is going to be different because I have it all figured out. My grades will be perfect, I'll be taking my school to the state championship, and I'm determined to leave my rebellious ways behind. Hell... I'll do anything to escape the nightmare known as the Candor reform school for girls. That is, unless my mouth and my temper get in the way. My good girl plans are put to the test as I navigate through high school, bullies, an overbearing father, basketball, and temptations of the heart. A forbidden fruit otherwise known as my childhood best friend Drew Taylor. And as I catch feelings for the school's resident bad boy, I wonder if I will be able to pull off my greatest feat yet... or will the perfect life I've been trying to make for myself come crashing down around me? Unable to resist the dark side of things, I'm praying I don't lose my freedom a second time, and that I'll finally succeed in this game called life.

Redeeming the Darkness, de whitneymorgan91

Ivy took a leap of faith when she married Zane, a perfect stranger. What she wasn't expecting was to find love wrapped up in a complex package. ----------------------------------------------------------- Growing up, Ivy was always the "wild child."

I know I'm not worthy of a second chance. I've taken away so many others' second chances. I took their lives in my hands and each time chose mine over theirs. It didn't matter who they were, if they had family, how old they were. I had a job to do. If I heard even a whisper, it was over. I had to. I didn't want to, but I had to. It didn't even matter in the end. She's gone now. I'm all alone. Somehow, for some reason, a second chance was bestowed on me. But I don't want it. I can't have it. And he knows it too.

His Unwanted Bride (BWWM) √ , de Chyica

An arranged marriage was never what I wanted but it seemed to be what life was dishing out to me, and to make it worse, my husband-to-be preferred women on the ...lighter side. And by the lighter side, I mean lighter side of the scale and skin color. #1Bwwm #2Interracial Book 1 of the Unwanted Series PS: There are typos in this work, mostly because autocorrect always puts in the most ridiculous wrong things and I always miss despite reading them before posting, until I have posted and read over and over again. There's also the issue of timelines that don't add up and wrong names. I'm currently editing it in a new document. I hope it will be better. FP: 2017 C:2019

My Inspirations, de khaleesi019

"Unfortunately, I wish it was just a made-up story, something that belonged in the realm of fiction. But it isn't. I'm guessing it started happily at first. Just a naive 10-year-old enjoying what life threw at her. As they say, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But I didn't. I longed for more. With my lemons, I wanted lemonade, lemon cake, lemon pie, honey and lemon juice, lemon tea, and even lemon water!" I guess now I can't have any of that anymore, right? I messed up big time, and I'll bear the consequences for it all. I just have one wish though... It's as though I'd have been better off never entering this world in the first place.
