" My name is Carly Miller, and that was somewhat of a sneak peak into my story. I am hoping you continue reading this book as somewhat of a guide. I'll be very clear, I don't have all the answers but I believe in someone who does."

** She spent her childhood searching for love in all the wrong places - longing for a father's approval that never came, comparing herself to a sister she could never measure up to, and carrying the weight of the words that told her she would never be enough. Through heartbreak, silence, and the scars of trauma, she learned how pain lingers in the body, how it shapes the way we see ourselves, and how it can steal the joy from even the brightest moments. but she also discovered something else: that healing is possible, even when the past feels unbearable. Told with raw honesty and unflinching vulnerability, this memoir is a journey through childhood wounds, family secrets, and the quiet battles of self-worth. It is about learning to face the mirror, to confront the lies we have been told, and to find strength in the very places we once felt broken. For anyone who has ever felt unseen, unworthy, or unloved, this story is a reminder that the pain does not define us - and that even in the darkest chapters, hope can still be found.Complete
Through My Eyes (Being Edited)
I am writing this for my friends who wanted me to write their life through my perspective. It's like how life was Through My Eyes this whole time. I've known some friends longer than the others so the lengths vary of the chapters and of their accounts on the whole. I recommend you try this before you go on to find another book. Thanks! Much love xComplete
Dead on Arrival - Resurrected by Grace
I love the beginnings of stories. Whether it be a book or a movie, I enjoy the opening scenes the most. Because they hold all the promises of what is to come; unburdened by commitment or baggage. Beginnings are full of hope. This story is an exception. Because the beginning of it is a sad one. It's the ending, however, that makes this story worthwhile. It's been several years since these events occurred and I have spent the majority of that time contemplating how best to share this story. Why? Because stories are important and everyone has one. This one is mine...Complete
The Heirloom of US - Character Series
This isn't the main plot. This is everything around it-the soft moments, the hard conversations, the healing that happens between chapters. These stories follow the ones shaped by the Sullivan legacy-the ones trying to carry it differently. It's about Malakai and Penelope, raising kids gently while healing from the past. It's about parenting without repeating what broke you. About slow mornings, gentle corrections, and trying again. - Malakai is steady, but haunted. His silence isn't cold-it's his choice not to pass down pain. - Penelope is learning that nurturing doesn't mean shrinking. She's holding her kids and her boundaries at once. - Damian is brilliant and dyslexic, trying to lead in a world that overlooks kids like him. - Noah is loud, proud, and secretly afraid of not being enough. His arc is about learning softness and humility. - Ibrahim is unlearning what love isn't so he can finally receive what it is. - Maddie is used to bending the world around her. But real peace doesn't come from control. - The triplets, together, are chaos and care. Loud, loving, flawed, and growing. These scenes are full of: 🕊️ Generational healing 💬 Sibling fights & forgiveness 🤲 Faith & softness ✨ Parenting with intention ❤️🩹 Love that's earned, late, and real If The Heirloom of Us was about building a legacy, this is about holding it together-through small choices, quiet acts, and love that refuses to give up. It's soft here. But it's deep.
BROKEN COURAGE (Lucas & Emilia Book 3)
While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 3 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc, the emotional conclusion to their story. For the full journey, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.Complete

Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends.

THE BOOK OF FORGOTTEN DELIBERATELY
"Some truths don't set you free. They set you on fire." They told me not to open that book. They warned me with stories-old, crusty ones-about madness, about secrets best left untouched. They said the library's far wing was cursed. That the books in that section didn't whisper wisdom-they screamed. But curiosity has a strange way of settling into your bones, especially when you've lived your entire life inside walls built from someone else's truths. My name? It doesn't matter-not yet. This story isn't about names. It's about what was forgotten deliberately. And how I found it. I wasn't born a rebel. I didn't want to challenge kingdoms or rewrite history. I just wanted to understand who I was, why I felt out of place, and what those strange dreams meant. The ones with burning skies and voices calling me by a name no one else knew. This isn't a tale of heroes and villains. It's messier than that. It's about a girl who found a truth so big, it didn't fit into her world. And maybe-just maybe-it won't fit into yours either. But I'll tell it anyway. Because stories like this-whispers like these-were never meant to stay silent. Disclaimer This is a work of fiction.
