"We were young and naïve back then. We didn’t care for what the future held, nor were we prepared for it. Living for the moment was our notion. Day by day, we’d progress by each other’s side; it was just him and I.
It had always been Alfie and I, that’s just the way it was. We were inseparable, connected at the hip by a metaphorical joint. He was the centre of my very existence and I was his. Best friends for life."
It's 1939. In the small, sleepy English village of Hollybrooke, fifteen year old Harper has been best friends with Alfie for as long as she can remember. But when war breaks out and disaster strikes for the pair, will Harper fight through her worst fears, or find herself pushed to limits she cannot control?

Yours Truly
[Copyright © 2014] In 1943, Charlotte Truly is a nineteen-year-old American nurse serving in World War II. The oldest of four daughters, Charlotte is mostly a shy and reserved girl who keeps to herself. But when Charlotte meets William McCaden, an injured soldier on leave whom she'd briefly met when she was seventeen, she finds herself falling inexplicably in love. When Will is shipped overseas to Nazi-occupied France to fight in a deadly combat mission, Charlotte and Will have only their letters to keep each other close... but in the midst of war, how can love possibly survive? ----- DISCLAIMER: This work was written when I, Raine the author, was 14 years old (circa 2014) and is a FIRST DRAFT. Certain aspects of this story are highly problematic and should rightfully be called out. Please do bear in mind, however, that the entirety of what you see here was written (unedited) by a 14-year-old girl. Now, I as a 20-year-old writing student am fully aware of my mistakes and would like to apologize profusely for them. They are not reflective of my present character by any means and I can assure you that I FULLY condemn the slut-shaming, misogyny, white saviorism, racism, and the general oversimplification of vastly complex themes and historical contexts you might see in Yours Truly (2014). As much as I would like to chalk it all up to being a sign of the times (the very backwards 1940s), I understand now how I should have handled this particular time period with more tact and discretion. Especially with how I recklessly portrayed the horrific racial climate of the 1940s American South. Again, I am very sorry and can wholeheartedly promise you that any later drafts of Yours Truly would 100% rework all of these themes and contexts with the utmost of consideration towards the communities they affect directly. Thank you. -Raine, Feb. 11/2021Complete
A Girl's Best Friend
Just a forewarning; this book contains language that may not be suitable for all readers. I usually don't do this, but I'm testing the waters with a tip from a great author, who said it adds more depth into a conversation, making it more emotional and raw. Thanks. best friends, Emory and Nolan try to navigate their junior year of high school, along with it's ups and down and all of the upcoming challenges that will put their friendship to the test. Will their friendship last when a gentleman named Maverick enters Emory's life? Will Emory get her happily ever after? Or will she endure more pain and misery? Maybe both? -all images were found in google. right goes to their rightful owner. therefore none of the images are mine. -there is language in this book that may be unsuitable for a younger audience. my target audience it 13+ thanks ALSO.... this is April '24 em btw. I found a little quote on my snapchat feed that I thought perfectly fit the live that Mav and Em share. "would you still love her if.... she said she did t eat today? if she told you that she relapsed? what if she told you that her room was messy and she's struggling to keep it organized? would you still love her if she said nothing makes her happy anymore? what about if you caught her in the middle of a panic attack? would you still love her if she tells you that she just wants to give up because she can't do this anymore? would you? well- "I would."Complete
