Through their experiences, the novel delves into the struggles, sacrifices, and triumphs that define the immigrant experience. In doing so, it dismantles the romanticized façade often linked with migration, revealing the challenges and resilience that form its core.

More Than Fine. (Complete)
Sometimes we hold ourselves back. We tell ourselves we're fine, when the reality is we're just barely getting by. We're living in a world of grey, when color is within our reach. We can be our own worst enemy by holding onto our past and letting it define us, instead of letting it go, and redefining who we are... changing the narrative. In the darkest places there is hope, beauty can rise from ashes. Gia, fresh out of college, is stuck in that cycle, but a one year internship in NYC sets this southerner up for an adventure that holds the key to letting go of her past... if she'll open herself up and take the chance. Her adventure is filled with the highs and lows of life... friendship, love, hurt, betrayal. How will those around her be affected by her life choices, and how will their lives intersect Gia's to determine her future? #christiancommunityConcluída
Officially Us
Cheating parents, black eyes, torrential downpour and caffeine addictions by the fireside - perhaps not your typical recipe for success in enduring romance. But it seems to be working out well enough for Ruben Foster and Sadie Blake. Or so Ruben thought . . . Ruben fell for Sadie instantly. She was intelligent, focused and driven, beautiful, sweet and caring, with a sense of humour which would make even the most seasoned of comedians chuckle freely. But there was also a darkness surrounding her life which terrified Ruben, but which he would have willingly endured if it meant getting to be with the girl he loved and giving her the life she deserved. But will Sadie let him? Or will she push him away to protect him from that darkness she can't escape from yet? 'Officially Us' is the second novel in the 'Rise and Fall' series; however, this delectable novel can be consumed entirely in isolation.Concluída
