The Runaway Roots: A Seabrook Story  Comedy-Drama Novel), écrit par Mzstillyourman
15 chapitres En cours d'écriture Contenu pour adultes
The Weavers arrive in the postcard-perfect town of Seabrook, Maine, desperate to shed their nomadic, shadowed existence. For Elara, it's a chance to build a real home; for Ginny, it's a terrifying opportunity for normalcy she craves but fears she can't handle. Their attempts to assimilate are immediately complicated: Ginny clashes (and then sparks) with her charming neighbor Liam, while his twin sister Sadie adopts Ginny with the force of a hurricane, dragging her into a vibrant friend group. Meanwhile, Elara finds an unexpected connection with the steady, kind hardware store owner next door, David, but is also intrigued by the enigmatic writer, Julian, whose own past seems tantalizingly shrouded. When Martin discovers Ginny's hidden scars, he insists on therapy and enrolls her in a community poetry class. There, Ginny meets Finn, whose intense gaze and raw poetry resonate deeply with her own hidden pain. Suddenly, Ginny is navigating two compelling but very different romantic possibilities: sunny Liam and his stable world, or brooding Finn who understands her darkness. As Ginny grapples with therapy, first loves, intense friendships, and the pressure of fitting in, Elara juggles her own dual suitors while trying to keep her family's past buried. But Seabrook has eyes, and whispers start. Old anxieties resurface as mysterious events hint that their flight might not be over. Through chaotic town events, heartfelt (and hilarious) moments with Sadie's squad, intimate confessions, stolen kisses, and the cathartic power of poetry, both mother and daughter must confront their pasts, embrace vulnerability, and decide not just who to love, but what kind of life - and roots - they are truly brave enough to build.
The Broken Branch: A Girl Between Worlds (Prologue/Preview), écrit par StellaWolfPoetry
15 chapitres Terminé Contenu pour adultes
What does it mean to grow up in a world that already thinks it owns you? They called her a miracle. A monster. A marvel. Eliana was born different from any child before her - a hybrid child - neither fully human nor fully beast - Eliana lived her life behind glass until the day she could no longer be contained. Overnight she became a headline, a spectacle, a mystery that the world wanted to protect... or control but everyone wanted to explore. As Eliana struggles to claim her place in a society that both worships and abhors her, she finds solace in the one bond no one can take away: her telepathic connection to Luna, her mirror-self and sister suffering in another world. Eliana's real battles are the ones no one sees: the cruelty of classmates, the pressure of fame, the systematic abuse befallen upon her otherworldly sister at the hands of the very scientists responsible for both of their creation. Raised by her mothers who instilled into her the ways of their Wiccan faith, she turns to magic, both light and dark, to find any semblance of control amid the hopeless divergence of her existence. Blending the raw ache of coming of age with elements of dark fantasy and social allegory, The Broken Branch is a lyrical and unflinching story about otherness, power, and the dangerous hope of belonging. These are the first 10 chapters for a novel I've been writing for the better part of a year. These chapters serve as sort of an intro/prologue for the rest of the story. They recount the portion of the story that happened during the protagonist Eliana's life up until age five. The rest of the story will go over the following years of her life, all the way up until young adulthood. I hope you enjoy. :)

Eighteen-year old Marianna Rodriguez is distraught by the abrupt news from her father. Her father lost touch to reality years ago when he plummeted into a deep depression and began heavily abusing drugs. Marianna made sure to stay away from him, but this time he came to her-practically begging and pleading for her help. "Do it for your mother" he had said. She had no choice. She loved her mother, and so she was ready to sacrifice everything-including her future and her wellbeing for her. Jackson is a cruel gang leader, and since very young he's been victim to a cruel faith which has undoubtedly shaped him into the harsh and ruthless man he is today. Just one look at Marianna and he knows he wants her. But he doesn't let his lust for the young girl crowd his perception of her or falter his judgment the slightest. Lust that turns into something much deeper very soon-although he absolutely denies it. As the reader, you'll closely follow Marianna's journey-living with her, surviving with her, feeling for her. You watch her suffer deeply, nearly lose her sanity, lose her loved ones and even her desperate attempt at love. But I must warn you: this story is intense, with more downs then ups. With more tears being shed than heartfelt laughs being shared. Can you handle it? And as for Marianna, will she survive the brutal faith that's been enforced on her? Or is her inevitable demise anticipated? Will the presence of a mysterious stranger change things? Spice things up perhaps? Make her try and forget all the horrible things that she's endured? Or is the damage installed upon the young girl so deep and incredibly complex that she is doomed to stay broken forever? Marianna Rodriguez. The girl who lost everything and everyone in an instant. But most importantly a girl who has pushed to a point of no repair. Or was she? --- "I love this story! Glad it wasn't like the usual mafia book" " I'm so glad she got her happy ending after everything "
Front Line, écrit par Julianna_Monroe
17 chapitres Terminé
Being on the front line doesn't always mean facing the obvious, being on the front line can be as simple as facing life head-on with no clue where you're going. Life is as much of a front line in the wider perspective than the narrower of that of a battle, where the enemy is known and destination is everywhere but backwards. Therefore in life everyone has a story, this is no different. This story tells the story of Julianna Monroe (Name changed to hide/protect myself), and how even the simple things in life can alter the future in the most minute of ways. Not everything in life has to be all song and dance for it to be interesting and diverse, the story of Julianna's life will show and connect to those with lives just the same as hers who are not able to speak about their experiences. Her story begins when she is around 3-4 years old, just about to start the very first away-from-home experience children in the United Kingdom are encouraged to do. Nursery. Here kids just like Julianna are given the freedom and chance to explore outside of the home environment, without the feeling of an academic learning facility. Julianna is a child rather used to home comforts, so even at the beginning on the long road to get to where she is today, there are struggles and many points in at which she feels lost. However, despite all the minor stumbles on the bottom rung of this ladder, this is the start of an adventure, a journey to test everything Julianna is made of. Her story starts now...
