This book follows the tale of three who live in a fairly small town not too far from the other. Each have their successes and failures as do many who live in the world that we know. Some have gone through similar situations, yet some find a way to push through and some find themselves dug deeper into a pit.
It is a collection of stories from people who have gone through similar struggles and woven into a fiction story in an alternative reality of the world today. Hopefully you will grow to love and relate to one or more of the characters as they reveal their life story.
This story does not name any actual people, just the situations they have lived through.
This book has been an off and on work since 2014. It is still a work in progress and will be probably for a long while. Any parts of this book (including published parts) will be subject to change at any time.

In Loving Memory of My Brother
|5X FEATURED · SPOTLIGHT STORY| Learning to cope with death is one of the most challenging obstacles any of us has to face, especially if that death is unexpected. When your whole world has changed, what do you do to overcome grief and keep your loved one's memory alive? *** I never knew how much trauma could affect a person until after my older brother died unexpectedly on August 17th, 2021. I came out of the experience as not the Victoria I was used to, but the Victoria who now had a massive hole in her heart. I come from a long line of fighters. My family and I pulled off different strategies to help us move on from such a devastating death, strategies that I am going to share in this book. Sometimes, the best way to overcome grief is to write about it. After all, writing is an escape to a different world where I still have my Green Guardian. These pieces and pictures I'm going to share with you are not meant to depress anybody, but to illustrate just how wonderful a person Matthew was. His story is sad, but it's a story of hope. His legacy remains in my heart today, and I want to share it because I know I'm not the only person who has lost somebody so unexpectedly. *** Ovid (on when his brother died): "iamque decem vitae frater geminaverat annos, cum perit, et coepi parte carere mei."

Nisha, soft-hearted but guarded. Dhruv, the joker hiding silent tears. Seema and Rishabh, the chaos wrapped in laughter and love. What starts as innocent classroom banter soon blossoms into deep friendships, unspoken crushes, heartbreaks, and the kind of love that lingers even in silence. As the group journeys from teenage pranks to grown-up dilemmas, they face the brutal beauty of life-unexpected confessions, misunderstandings that sting, sacrifices that go unnoticed, and a ticking clock none of them are prepared for.

To Be A Family
This is a story about the Davis family, three generations navigate love, family relationships, generational trauma and how your childhood shapes who you are. People who enjoy reading realism are going to love this. The story includes serious themes like addictions, abandonment and trauma, ill effects of corporal punishments etc. The creators do not endorse any such behaviors, everything said or done are the character's views and feelings The first couple of chapters might feel slow, a humble request to read at least three chapters before forming an opinion about the story. The characters are not based on any person living or dead, any resemblance is purely coincidental. The creators do not want to offend any religion, community or race. In case a chapter contains serious theme it would be mentioned at the beginning.![ʜᴇʀ ᴀᴍᴀʟ#2 [ᴏɴɢᴏɪɴɢ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/365476393-256-k694589.jpg)
