A man who has lost his entire family must live with the fact that there was nothing he could do to save them.
The plane crash was two years ago, but Thomas Wood can't come to terms with the loss of his wife and 11-year-old daughter. He must continue to go to work every day, and face the ridicule of his tormenting workmates. To him, he has nothing left to live for anymore, and he contemplates suicide almost every day.
Only his father-in-law, Robert, won't allow such actions, and visits Thomas almost every other day. Together, they share their grief, but that only makes Thomas realize more how much he misses them. It only makes him realize more that all that he loved in life is now gone.
Until one day, one horribly rainy day, Thomas sees an orphaned little girl and her dog on the street. Dressed in a raggedy raincoat three sizes too big for her and red rubber boots, this little girl and her mutt will forever change his life when he asks her name and she replies, "Rain."

After a highly contagious disease caused the downfall of mankind as they know it, married couple Sophia and Tom were forced to leave their home and seek a way to survive in more than ever unforgiving conditions, scavenging for food, collecting rainwater, migrating to the south for the winter, and fending off both hostile survivors and dangerously aggressive Infected. Being nomads made for rather unpleasant interactions with settled communities and pushed them into complete isolation. Their relationship grew each day more bitter, binding them only through the sheer inability to let go of life, no matter how brutal or dreadful it got. Unexpected sudden encounters will make them question their past, feelings, and motivations, as they navigate the ruins of their sense of self and of their close-to-failing marriage. "[...] in any case, destiny, or whatever higher power acting upon them, had a splendid way of forcing self and mutual reflection for the umpteenth time in about two weeks."

"Being mute isn't a disability. It just means that God loves you so much that He took away your voice so that you don't hurt others verbally. You see, He doesn't want you to do what others are doing to you." ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ When Sierra Bloom suffers a tragedy that costs her both her family and her voice, she shuts down every bit of emotion and passion within her and brings out a new and cold her that doesn't like being around people and things that are easy to get attached to. Enter David Hale. Cheerful, bright, friendly -a shocking contrast to her cold, closed off personality. Not only does David do things she dislikes, he also does not know when to give up on her. What is Sierra supposed to do when he keeps bringing out the old her and makes her forget the tragedy she caused? The answer is obvious; shut him out and run away. That's the solution.... right? ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ This book was written in 2013, back when I was still pretty much a kid. It hasn't been edited and there are many issues I find with it.

"Tristan, I'm scared." And then I froze. Just like the first time I met her, my body went into complete lockdown and my heart beat irrationally fast. Who would of ever thought three words could scar me? To anyone else, it would mean nothing. But to me it meant everything. Lorna was fearless. She wasn't scared of anything. The words 'I'm scared' never left her mouth. Until now. I guess this sort of pain can even scare the fearless. Lorna Smith isn't your typical teenage girl, she's battling a deadly disease. But she doesn't let that get her down. She lives life fearlessly, taking it as one big journey. Then she meets Tristan Coleman, a popular guy who is fixed in his orderly life. Lorna's fun, high spirited personality soon changes Tristan and as their friendship slowly turns into romance, Lorna becomes a huge part of his life. He's prepared for love, but he's not prepared for what he gets. And that changes him forever. ~Cover created by @ceilteinte~Complete

The Girl in the Hoodie
{FIRST BOOK IN 'THE GIRL IN THE HOODIE' SERIES} {2014-2018} A girl moved to California two years ago. No one knows what she looks like. All they know is that she wears a hoodie. *~*~*~* "HOLY SHIT, NOAH! WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU LET THE TROLLEY GO?! COME BACK! OH MY FUCKING LIFE, FIZZY DRINKS UP AHEAD--" BANG FIZZ POP "...am I dead?" I'm suddenly grabbed by the back of my hoodie and pulled up from the ground and out of the mess of the opened bottles of fizzy which had exploded when the trolley and I crashed into them. My hands instantly go to my hood and I sigh in relief to find that it hadn't fallen off through all of that. I turn my head and look the the employee who's holding me, his face completely red and the vein in his neck throbbing. "Wassup, dude?" I smile sheepishly. *~* {HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 in Funny #1 in Sad And #1 in Cancer apparently }Complete

Once upon a time... That's how all the fairytales begin, right? There's a girl who's mistreated and misunderstood. She meets a guy--probably the most popular guy in school (and hey, why not make him British while we're at it?). He's most likely very handsome and just as rich, and magically seems to understand her. It feels like they've known each other forever when in fact they've actually just met. It's love at first sight, the guy saves the girl from whatever misery she's in, they meet only two or three problems along the way, and then it's happily ever after. But this isn't a fairytale.
