1789 comingofage dawn france french history love only revolution romance teenage war

150,000 word young adult historical novel! :)

On the streets of Paris, the people are gathering. Mothers cannot feed their children whilst the King lives in the most opulent palace ever seen. Plans, prayers and rumours of revolution whisper through the stormy air which hangs above the city.

'This is a story of freedom and of war, of love and of hate ... This is a story about the constant life that clings to the earth without surrender and about what we are licensed to do with our share....' 
How much can one person be allowed to do in order to change the world? How much can be forgiven? And when the bored and the dying collaborate to take down a nation, can anyone win at all? 
When there are secrets, lies, shackles, poverty, hatred and murder, can the dawn ever come?

4am Knows All My Secrets by Silver_Clawds

Dear Reader, "Nothing in this life lasts forever. Everything is temporary. Leaves that used to make us smile in the spring will soon fall down and we will forget that once, maybe long or maybe not a long time ago, we used to be happy. But this story isn't about what makes us sad. Because the winter will pass and we will see those spring leaves come alive again. And we will smile again. Just like we did many many times before. But then again, what is it about? Guess we'll have to figure it out together. Or I'll let you know once I'm back." She spent her life questioning her worth and her place in this world. Never knowing what to expect or what to hope for. Lost and confused, she wandered down the streets. They all looked the same. The streets, the buildings, parks, rivers, stations. They all looked the same. She was losing hope. She was losing everything. And then she woke up. Nowhere. To anyone, anywhere, any time. Written mostly in a form of diary, it's the story anyone can relate to. It sets no boundaries for age, race, religion or anything in between. The person in the story has no name or appearance. It's up to everyone's individual imagination. It can be you, your best friend, your neighbour or someone you've never met before. It's all up to the reader. This book shows that every single one of us is different. But we all have something in common. You're never alone. Or are you? Sincerely,

LEFT HAND by BBglo33

This is my very first... thing ever published. A story that is frankly likely to be boring for most people, but only those who won't have enough heart to detect deep emotions that personally pushed me to finally let you read it, hiding all alone between the lines and the little unconscious humor that Simon transmits to us by letting us dive into his head... It's about loneliness, sadness, regrets, relationships, love... Feelings. Some more confusing than others, some more violent than others, some more forbidden than others... But all as sincere as every line of this short story. I won't say more; I'll let you discover this... thing. Thanks in advance for clicking on LEFT HAND, and I hope you'll like it. I'm sure that right now you're somewhere quiet, relaxed and convinced that you know who you are, who your friends are, or the people closest to you... What they are going through, what is going on in their heads... I was like you... But I was wrong. °°°°° ⚠ Warning ⚠️ The story you are about to immerse yourself in is not fiction. It takes place approximately between June 17th and September 5th, 2003. Some events, dialogue, details, and characters have been added for dramatic purposes, but each chapter captures the essence of a real story, the story of the lives of people who actually existed (and who may still exist). This novel contains themes of depression, violent accidents, obsessive-compulsive disorder, verbal abuse, unconventional coital intimacy, drug use, and suicide. Reserved for mature audiences. Enjoy reading.

Breaking free (GxG) by worldchange97

My name is Brooklyn Robert. I'm 17, head cheerleader since my freshman year, I have fair grades and people always compliment me on my looks even though I see myself as completely ordinary. I have to admit that my life includes indeniable advantages. My mother, Laurence Robert - pronounced in French s'il vous plaît - is a worldwide renowned fashion designer, meaning that I have quite a lot of pocket money along with a huge property to my disposal. For a teenager who just gets started in life, those assets may lead one to believe that I have all the tools to be happy and successful. But I'm not. I reached the bottom so fast and so hard that I couldn't see a way out. I was trapped in a dark hole with no issue. I was so tired that my only desire was to end it. I wanted it so bad that I swallowed two bottles of sleeping pills and I let myself be taken away by that haunting darkness. But it didn't work. I'm still here, alive and ready to die. #1 sexualorientation #2 suffering #11 girlxgirl __________________________ [Explicit content.

Resilience by WhoisJr02

I never planned on telling my story. Truth is, I've spent most of my life holding it in, swallowing the pain, laughing off the shade, putting on a mask when deep down I was fighting battles no one could see. But the older I got, the more I realized silence can eat you alive. And if I don't tell it raw and unfiltered, then who will? This book isn't polished for perfection. It's not sugarcoated, it's not dressed up to make anyone comfortable. It's me, The struggles, the lessons, the laughter, the embarrassing moments, the heartbreaks, the love, the shady comebacks, the nights I thought I wouldn't make it, and the mornings I woke up ready to fight again. I named this book Resilience because that's exactly what my life has been about. No matter how many times I was knocked down by people I loved, by family pressure, by toxic love, by my own mistakes, I got back up. Bruised, maybe. Bitter, sometimes. But never broken. So if you're holding this book, know this is, you're not reading some perfect fairytale. You're stepping into my world. One filled with chaos, comedy, culture, love, and pain that shaped me into the person I am today. And maybe, just maybe, you'll find pieces of yourself in these pages too. This is my story. Raw. Real. Resilient.

We're Just Friends [BOOK 1 Of The 'We're Just' Trilogy]] by Riane_Pereira

They say all good boys go to heaven, but bad boys bring heaven to you. And that's what he brought me, Heaven. We were terribly perfect for each other. We'd argue, we'd scream- hell we'd throw things at each other. But at the end of the night we'd lay beside each other. What started off as a silly deal to get us both going ended up as so much more than i could've ever imagined... He was the worst best thing that happened to me, but our dark pasts ruined us. We took dying for each other a little too literal. "You say we're just friends but i swear, when nobody's around..." Started: April 4th 2018 Ended: July 23rd 2020 WARNING: Contains mature scenes, Strong abusive language. Mentions of rape, sex, murder, alcohol and violence. READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. BOOK WILL GO UNDER A ROUND OF REVISION AFTER ITS FULLY PUBLISHED TO MAKE SURE READING IS A SMOOTH SAIL FOR EVERYONE. I'm also sorry for any stones i've left unturned in the book!!! I'll be working on fixing them asap. Until then I'm extremely sorry for any mistakes. ANY SIMILARITIES IN REGARDS TO NAMES, LOCATIONS AND SCENES IN OTHER BOOKS IS PURE COINCIDENCE! Thank you!
