Emma Field Novel Series

Read and re-read by soulful young people and the adults in their lives, this series is about the young Emma Field who grows up amongst the Quakers of her pioneer community of Bloomfield, Canada. Her further adventures take her amongst the Quakers of Nine Partners, New York, and later the runaway slaves and Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) of the Great Lakes.

Williams' writing has been described as the combination of earth, edge and steadiness. If you like the writing of Lucy Maud Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables), Gabrielle Roy (Children of My Heart) and Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist), you will enjoy these books.

Book One

Emma has dreams and desires that call her to go beyond her father's struggle to survive as an immigrant in Canada West in the 1840s. With the love of the Quakers and her own courage, she takes her first tentative steps at understanding the world around her.
Emma Field, Book One, is a story of birth and death; and of the stirrings of body and soul, the desire for beauty, the ache of loneliness, the drive for independence and the pain of envy. It is a story of love and dignity and the power of taking risks.All Rights Reserved

"Heartbound Secrets | Hermione Granger x Reader (GXG) by nzcrsm

"Why do you keep looking at me?" Y/N finally asked, her eyes still focused on the book in her hands. Hermione's voice was gentle as she replied, "I like looking at you." "Yeah?" Y/N asked softly, her voice barely above a whisper. Hermione nodded, her expression filled with a warmth that made Y/N's heart race. "Yes," she confirmed, her eyes never leaving Y/N's. ✴✴✴✴✴ Y/N Crimson, a 13-year-old girl, has recently discovered that she possesses the extraordinary power of the Flame, marking her as one of the "Blessed Children."

Chameleon ✔️ by CandaceMJ

I have three secrets. 1. I'm in the witness protection program. I witnessed my mother's murder when I was eight years old, and now the murderer is after me. 2. I can read minds. Or not "read" them... not exactly. But I can feel them. Every emotion has a color. An aura, as I call it. And I can feel those auras. I can feel the color of one's thoughts. 3. I can't feel Elijah Whitney's aura. [ COMPLETED - 1.28.16 ] [ LATEST REVISION - 8.17.19 ] [ SEQUEL COMING FALL 2019 ]

How to disappear by edywritesalot

"Come on you know none of it matters. none of it matters without this, us." {The first book in the Tethered series} Bernadette is no stranger to what lurks in the shadows and the pain it brings with it. For the better parts of her life were spent being pulled into the darkness, she learned quickly that in a world of sorrow it's better to disappear than face it. No one managed to save Bernadette from the tidal wave of anguish she rides on, until Alicia. But no good things truly last and if somethings too good to be true it's doomed to fail. Falling for the ghost who wandered its way into his life was never Hudson's plan. But then again, Hudson's plan seemed to be drowning out the existential dread about what his future entailed with stinging fingers and an ashy throat. The pair of them made no sense from an outside perspective. How could the guy who dances on heartstrings and the girl who finds solace in evanescing ever fit together. But perhaps when you bury your true self so far, the only person to get it back is someone who did the same. Unmasking the secrets kept so deep inside is a difficult task, but sometimes Love can push you into it. Indeed, they had a love to end all love. A love for the ages, one to shatter limitations and exceed all bounds. A Ghost and her Tether. :)

The Traitor's Wife by MaryRose_Author

My grief is a lie. His guilt a weapon. And remembering will destroy whoever I used to love. Maybe this was it. Maybe she had already crossed the line between the living and the lost. The thought of reuniting with Alexei, of seeing him again, wherever he was, felt less terrifying than stepping through that door to meet his killer. Death, at least, would have been merciful. Forget everything you think you know about mafia romance. This isn't a story about an innocent girl stumbling into a dangerous world. Claire lived in that world, she just can't remember how... or what it cost her. A love story where the deepest betrayal may be the one you inflict on yourself. Fair warning: this book will break you, reshape you, and leave you desperate for answers you're too afraid to face. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.

Anne Of Green Gables √ (Project K.) by OttovBismarck

*****ALL CREDITS TO L.M.MONTGOMERY***** "She danced up to the little looking-glass and peered into it. Her pointed freckled face and solemn gray eyes peered back at her. "You're only Anne of Green Gables," she said earnestly, "and I see you, just as you are looking now, whenever I try to imagine I'm the Lady Cordelia. But it's a million times nicer to be Anne of Green Gables than Anne of nowhere in particular, isn't it?" Anne Shirley, with all her daydreaming, carelessness and chatter is not quite what Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert expect when they decide to adopt a child from the orphan asylum. But, after a while, they can't even realize what Green Gables had been without her. Anne's presence lights quiet old Green Gables like a candle lights a room.* This time-old classic has delighted young and old alike for over a century. Full of vivid characterization, humor, and love, this tale lives in the souls of many. "Anne is the dearest and most loveable child in fiction since the immortal Alice" - Mark Twain. #35 in Classics 7/9/17 #14 in Classics 9/9/17 #21 in Classics 11/9/17 * Summary by @DArecruit

Statera: The Balance of Yin and Yang by alyaleah

In a world where select few can manipulate Yin and Yang energy, equilibrium has been maintained by fair treatment to users of both sides. In recent years, however, this delicate balance has been threatened by extreme beliefs. Those who have the power to tip the scales are fueling flames of suspicion and turning man against each other. The world is disintegrating into ruins; droughts, floods, famine, corruption and distrust among Yin and Yang Congregants threaten to upend life as it is. Aletheia is just a girl from a normal family in Minato. Her family just well off enough to send her to her dream in life: the Congregate. But she is not a Supplicant and her family has no ties within the Communion. So she enters the Congregate almost a blank slate, only armed with what she read in her hometown, which wasn't much. She has no idea what is coming for her as her life up to that point had been quite normal, specked with the typical existential crisis many of you would know well. What was the meaning of life? What was she here to do? When Aletheia meets Elora at the Congregate - oh beautiful, talented Elora - Aletheia realises that she does not have a Glorious Purpose. No, she thinks she has found her meaning in Elora. For reasons she cannot comprehend, Aletheia believes Elora is the one who will wrestle the world back into balance, and she is merely along for the ride. She doesn't realise her companionship to a Elora's journey is more important than she knows. Follow her as she navigates through self-doubt, uncertainty, love, loyalty and friendship, searching and grasping at her meaning while she fights alongside Elora, whose shoulders carry the burden of saving the world. ~~~ Story now complete: Updates weekly!
