To Mend A Soul

She did not always live the way she does today. For years following a tragic incident, she lived a silent, monotonous existence as a girl who had no complaints, opinions, or voice to express them. For years she never stepped over any boundaries in her life. Her dad lived his life separate and so did she, all despite living under the same roof.

Charis Harding's father turns cold after the passing of her mother. Years later he remarried another woman with two kids, but pretending to be happy for her father becomes difficult when an unholy secret she soon regrets to find shatters everything she envisioned her once loving and caring father was. He was no longer loving or caring.

He was a liar and a fraud.

Her life was insufferable and painstaking as it was. But a certain acquaintance made sure to turn her life the other way around.

Jonah Ashford, a school rebel with a dark secret, makes it impossible to leave his side as soon as she finds out about his secret. He may not know the truth behind her greed to help him, but he knows he's not alone.

The two were very different from each other. They didn't have the same charisma, the looks, the grades, the attitude. But the one thing that bound them together may as well be more than enough incentive to brew a special relationship between them.

She needs him.

He needed her.

Together they tackle life's lemons and squeeze the hell out of each passing one for a better sunny day to enjoy their fresh lemonade. Lemonade their unsure of how to make it.

Is it true that scars can heal with the love they find within each other broken pasts? Is it remotely possible to believe that they can move on over things unforgivable to their souls that have mounded them so to this day?

Is it possible for two broken souls to be mended?
