Braylin's life has been hard. But now, with her father put in prison for all the abuse he has put her through, she is working to find a better place. As she waits for her aunt to finish moving to town, she is staying with her life-long best friend, Jonah, and has a feeling that this is her chance to change things for good.
But it's hard to stop flinching everytime she feels a hand on her back or open up about all those years stuck with her dad. Memories haunt her like a ghost from her past and it's hard to believe in this God that Jonah keeps telling her about, with unconditional love and mercy.
One fateful night, Jonah's kindness breaks open a door to something Braylin would never have seen coming. Somehow, this stranger that Jonah offers a meal and bed to will turn Braylin's life toward something bigger than she could have ever predicted.

A Girl Named Callie by MidnightRose55
51 parts Complete
*sequel to A Boy Named Jasper* ~~~~~ When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to get well?" (John 5:6) ~~~~~~ Jasper has been in L.A. for almost five years. Not a day went by where he wasn't plastered on the cover of some tabloid or another, mostly for things that would've made Callie's brown eyes droop in disappointment. He hadn't seen her beautiful eyes in person in years, the touring life having taken him away from Texas most of the time. She didn't seem to mind though; she stopped calling as frequently, stopped video-chatting him for hours on end. Her life seemed just as busy as his was. Callie was about to graduate college. Full-ride scholarship, honors and a 4.0 GPA all culminating in a psychology and counseling double-major degree. She has a job lined up at a non-profit and a head full of unrelenting optimism. Not a day goes by that she doesn't think about Jasper and his new life in L.A. His blue eyes still live in her memory, immortalized in her lock screen, but she hasn't seen him in person in years. Callie didn't mean to stop calling and Jasper didn't mean to close himself off like before. Life just got in the way as it always does. They weren't unrecognizable, exactly, but they definitely weren't the same people. Callie was still a ray of sunshine with her relentless positivity and Jasper had reverted back to being a thunderstorm with a penchant for things he swore he'd never get involved in. All it took was one night for him to get back to square one. But things always get worse before they get better.

One all of these characters are fictional, and their situations are completely FICTIONAL..... Two and this is a spoiler alert there will be chapters that contain abuse in them that is why I have given this story a mature rating. I do not in anyway support or encourage any form of abuse......Lastly this is my first story and due to my crazy schedule I am slow to update. If you like it, hate it, love it, or have any type of criticism I would love to hear from you. Sincerely yours SilverInk.

But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him.

The Light House Girl. by Growling_moon
65 parts Complete Mature
17-year-old Abigail Wells, known as Abbie, is shipped off to live with her estranged mother. The same woman whom Abbie has not seen since she was about three years old. Abbie's dad, Keith, is not a good guy and hates her passionately. Her home life was not good growing up yet he was the only parent she has ever known. Her only constant. Adeline Cobwell, Abbie's mother, lives in a small town, Reef's Paradise located in Florida. As the name indicates, the town is sort of a paradise for people residing there. Hidden alcove of a town, separated from busy cities surrounding it. The local saying, 'once you are here, you never want to leave,' is something all townsfolk here adhere to. Just like any other small town, Reef's Paradise has its own stories and secrets. Most of such stories are known to all the residents but unknown to the newcomer, Abbie. One such intriguing story is about the Light House, located at the far end of the town on a deserted beach. There is something about the stories, and the Light House itself that attracts Abbie even before she finds out a secret, hiding in it. This is a story about Abbie's journey to self-discovery, to learn what love and care truly mean. Being a teenager is not easy nor is peeling off layers of masks, especially when you have them on for so long. When anger is the only emotion Abbie's known to express for so long things are bound to explode. This is my first story here. Comments and feedback are appreciated.

*4th story in Beauty of God series: While I would love for you to read the other three stories, you don't have to read them to understand this one!!* Kason loves his sister more than anyone in the world. So when her abusive boyfriend leaves her broken and pregnant, his only goal is to make sure she and the baby are okay. But it's hard when he doesn't have any control over the situation and when Kaybree is close to being unfixable. Add in ex girlfriend problems and the stress of college, and Kason's life just seems close to collapse. But then there's Sav, the kind, calm, sarcastic nurse intern that somehow makes everything slightly less stressful. Not only does she seem to be one of the only lights in Kason's life, but she also introduces him to someone that he's been hearing more and more about recently: Jesus. With everything stacking on top of each other, will the small graces like a new best friend and a Savior that might be the answer to it all be enough to keep Kason from going under? **REVIEWS** "Oh my goodness I just HAVE to say Golden Rain is definitely my favorite book on WattPad." ~ @SmileyRiley_1 "The story overall is AMARZING!!! Sav is the character we've all been waiting for. Spontaneous, real, and has a story that has touched me..." ~ @BooksforJesus "With compelling characters, a moving plot, and an emotional background, you'll want to read 'Golden Rain' until the end!" @Rosalie_Golden
