A Red Flame in the Dark | ✔️
Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1640 A young Puritan woman named Hester Prynne learns her husband is missing, presumed dead. She is secretly glad to be able to maintain her independence until she seeks comfort from a new minister, Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale. Despite each knowing that their strict religion bans any relationship between them, the pair cannot help but develop a deep bond, and each face a different consequence for it, namely a Scarlet Letter. --- If you have ever read The Scarlet Letter: A Romance by Nathaniel Hawthorne and thought to yourself, what romance? How did these two goody goodies commit the sexual sinning needed for this plot to happen? Well, friends, I have given it a lot of thought, and trying to mimic the diction of the source material, I present my interpretation of the romance and maybe you will be a little sad that these two lived in such a society they couldn't ever be happy together.

letters to you | completed.
hello ! technically this would be my second book, had i not deleted the first one out of sheer embarrassment. wrote this while struggling in high school and reading a lot of nicholas sparks so that is probably why it is the way it is. i had put in a lot of effort in this back in the day so it deserves to stay up on my profile. this story is about a teenage girl who goes through her day to day struggles and pens them down as letters written to you. hope you find a friend in her along this journey. happy reading !
