Maggie Anglem lost her mother at just 9 years old. Her whole childhood was tainted with abuse, a home filled with violence where the only thing saving her from a life in the system was her sweet, loving grandfather, Cyrus Anglem, who often provided a sense of hope for Maggie. Shortly after the loss of her mother, her father Dennis was locked away in the state asylum for the clinically insane for attempted murder/suicide. 

Now an adult, Maggie deals with the burden of being the product of a suicidal, alcoholic father and a mother who, though despite being a blessing to Maggie, was gone too soon to guide Maggie through the perilous journey of life. Between Cyrus and Maggie's autistic little brother Ben, Maggie has somehow managed to stride through life and develop a new purpose- taking care of her brother and developing a new, better life for herself and her newly found, non-binary partner Kendall.

The man keeps visiting Maggie over the years. And when Margaret turns sixteen their father gives them a gift that will change their life for the better. Chp. 4 Preview: She was able to see what the paper had on it immediately after taking it from the shelf, and it made her heart immediately drop. Her blood sugar fell, and her face became pale, feeling dizzy. Her heart began racing as she saw me staring at her. The drawing she just found was a realistic depiction of myself smiling at the person who saw it. Unlike myself, who felt joy and inspiration from seeing father draw me this, mother was scared witless. Her legs became jelly, her body was paralyzed. All she could do was stare at the drawing, knowing that no one could have drawn this except an adult. And she knew I did not talk to any adults- or did I? Now she couldn't be too sure. This picture was from someone who knew how I looked, even getting the dimples on my cheeks and small birthmark on the side of my neck. It was someone that had to know me very well.

"It was a mistake..." She told her mother, folding her hands into each other. "Marrying him..." Her mother said nothing, she simply sat there as her only daughter stood across from her, on the verge of collapsing from bruised ribs and cracked shins. "Mom." She wanted to reach out, softly tap her aging mother. Though that was the restriction of her life. The binding stereotype that she was gentle and slow to anger. In reality, what wanted to explode from her ribs was a scream of an animal, and the tears of repressed rage and fear. She wanted to throw her body onto the floor, but the thought made her damaged body ache more. There was no response from her mother. The deafening silence reminded her of her own quietness as her husband shouted at her, his fists bloody. He told her that she was only a tool for his amusement and a money-whore for her indigent family. She was nothing else but a tool for both parties. And she was starting to believe him. --------------------- Sarah Johnsen's life spirals from the normal gritty resilient fight to a serene wonderland. On the outside, she's married to a kind family with untold riches, but on the inside, her husband is the devil himself. Forcefully married at 18, Sarah was forced to kill her own dreams of becoming a doctor in order to bind her poor family to the rich bastards of Glendale by marrying their youngest; Oliver Grean. Their arrangement had the ability to brew the largest timespan of misery any of them has ever known. From lost toddlers to paid staged kidnappings, the binding of the two families, the Johnsen's and the Grean's created a mixture of chaos, confusion, sorrow, fear, grief, and dangerous rage. And there seems to be no haven to escape to. Or is there?

New and improved version now available at Amazon! "If there's evil in anyone, if it exists at all, that's what that boy is made of." Jack, thus far, has glided through life by his own rules and has successfully kept out of consequences' reach, no matter what chaos he has caused and no matter who he has hurt. Until Charlotte, his girlfriend, commits suicide. With guilt just an arm's length away from eating him alive, Jack tries to move on, pretend it never happened, forget her entire existence. But Charlotte has other plans. Jack's life takes a paranormal turn when her spirit sticks to him like his shadow as he tries to navigate his way out of trouble with her grieving father, her accusing best friend, and a nosy neighbour. He just wants to forget about her, just like the mess with his ex before: Amy. He can try to run again but he knows his secrets won't stay buried forever.
