Most 25-year-olds talk about "relearning who you are" like it's some sort of mystical path that you can choose to follow. Usually barefoot, strewn with cushy blankets and crackling fires, cups of tea, scented candles, and heaps of quarter-life-crisis self help books. As if it's just a phase of life that you get to go through on the way to spiritual awakening and becoming your "best self". 

For Sophie, it's more about learning who she really is for the very first time. After a devastating accident that leaves her to battle amnesia alone in the Rocky Mountains, Sophie finds herself trying to rebuild her life from scratch in a small lakeside town, unable to remember anything about herself or her past. 

When puzzle pieces begin falling into place and she decides to knock of the door of who she used to be, she realizes that her yearlong absence was unnoticed by nearly everyone she thought held her dear. Stuck between the new life she's created with the people she's beginning to let in, and her family and the relationships of her past, Sophie must decide if leaving it all behind is really so wrong, after all.

Matt was a track star like his brother, but everything changed following his Junior year of high school. His girlfriend Kris along with one of her friends were killed in a head on car accident involving a drunk driver. Even though Matt was in the car with them he somehow survived. After the accident nothing seems the same for Matt, and despite finishing out his senior year, his motivation to move forward is gone. Desperately in search of something new, Matt turns to a martial arts school that his best friend had recommended. Set in the beautiful beach town of Oceanside this first person narrative focuses on key experiences that Matt goes through during his first year of training. The novel takes the reader on a journey following him as he struggles with the demands of karate training, as he deals with new relationships surrounding him, and most importantly as he learns to live with the memories of the accident that while becoming more clear, still haunt and hold him back. The variety of people he meets as part of his training, some more eccentric than others, push him to try and answer the call; including the "beautiful" brown belt Cammie, who helps him try and fully face the memories of the accident. The idea is to showcase the world of hard core martial arts and integrate it into the challenges of overcoming serious trauma. It highlights how the power of being a part of a community in the fascinating world of martial arts can be surprising, challenging, yet transformative. With the advent of a series like "Cobra Kai" I believe there is interest in coming of age narratives that are set within the sometimes bizarre and mysterious world of martial arts. I personally love John Green's work and hopefully there is at least a taste of what he offers in terms of intensity and depth of character. The following "tags" I think would fit well in trying to describe the narrative : coming of age, drama, tragedy, karate, kata, fighting, romance, and recovery.

SIXTH SENSE  by MsCrimeless
26 parts Ongoing Mature
This is the story of a girl born with an extraordinary gift-one that set her apart from the very moment she took her first breath. Ever since birth, she has been haunted by visions that intrude upon her waking hours and even invade her sleep. These spectral images and whispers, seen and heard only by her, have always been a double-edged sword: a mysterious window into another world and a constant source of torment. From childhood, her unusual abilities isolated her from her peers. While other children played freely, she was burdened with a secret world that no one could understand. Desperate to share her experiences, she once confided in her mother, only to be met with disbelief and dismissal. "It's all in your head," her mother insisted, leaving her to face the inexplicable alone. As she entered high school, her strange behavior and the eerie phenomena that accompanied her made her an easy target. Teasing and ridicule became a daily ritual at the hands of classmates who could not comprehend her reality. Yet, despite the relentless bullying, she never retaliated-not out of weakness or fear, but because she was determined never to inflict pain on anyone, even those who scorned her. Everything began to change when one fateful day, a young man stepped forward. For the first time, someone saw beyond her oddities and recognized the courage and compassion within. He defended her against the cruelty of others, sparking a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, she wasn't meant to be alone. In this haunting and heartfelt journey, she must learn to embrace her gift, unravel the mysteries of the visions that both curse and bless her, and navigate the delicate balance between isolation and acceptance in a world that fears what it does not understand.

Then several years later, tragedy struck when her father passed away suddenly and Kendall was forced to move with her mom closer to Chicago where she could find a job to support the two of them. Little does Kendall know that she is in for the surprise of a lifetime. From the book.... As he catches up to me, he grabs my arm swings me around and with one swift movement he ushers me into a nearby empty classroom with the lights off. He cages me in against the wall. His close proximity is making me dizzy and my mind is thinking very dirty thoughts. Wait no. I can't think like that anymore. "Kendall." He says hungrily. "You are mine and only mine. You drive me wild and no one else can have you." He says as he attacks my lips. It feels so amazing I can't help but kiss him back. I run my hands through his beautiful hair and he groans into the kiss. Man I don't want this to ever end. I feel drunk on him. I don't think I can let him go. He stops suddenly to finish his thoughts. "No one can make you feel like this. Or kiss you here...." He says as he kisses down my neck. I moan and he smirks pulling his face impossibly close to mine. "..or touch you." He says as he takes his hand and brushes it lightly down my arm and he snakes it back around my back pulling me even closer if that is possible. He finally stops at my ass which he squeezes delightfully and I hum in response. Warning: Contains graphic sexual content. Read at your own discretion. You will not be warned ahead of time.
