In the shadow of Eddystone Point's lighthouse, a 17-year-old boy lives in solitude with his alcoholic father. Abandoned by his mother at birth, he navigates the harsh realities of his father's declining state and the relentless isolation of their windswept home. 

Seeking solace in the rugged, unforgiving beauty of the coastline, the boy discovers a glimmer of hope amidst the turmoil. When a mysterious gift from the sea comes ashore, it sets in motion a chain of events that promises to alter the course of his life forever. 

*What the Water Gave Me* is a gripping tale of survival and transformation. As the boy confronts his father's demons and battles his own fears, he must find the courage to carve out a future beyond the confines of their crumbling existence.

Authors notes:

Hey anybody reading this! Thanks for making it this far and I really hope you choose to give this little baby a read. 

This is my first attempt at writing a book so please be nice! I'd love some feedback if you enjoyed reading. I'll continue to post the draft chapters as I finish them. 

The first couple of chapters are pretty sad and prose-heavy while I'm trying to set the scene, but it picks up from there I promise! 

I didn't want to spoil too much in the blurb but there is also a romance and fantasy element coming if you'd like to stick around for the journey with me. 

Thanks,
F. T. Morgan

Love can feel empowering. Love can be deadly. It can be the greatest thing to ever happen. It can be the biggest mistake that can't be reversed. It can feel like a dream come true. It can feel like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Love changes people in many ways, from mild to severe, whether it's beneficial or detrimental in anybody's life, no matter if you're lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, or a person who just loves people without a label. How does love change you? ******* It's like your basic high school love story, except it's with adults in their early-mid 20s, and they're either still in college or have graduated from college and have jobs. It's a modern slice of life narrative novel about lesbians trying to find true love or wanting to get back into the love game. Five of these lovely characters share their own little tales of how love changes them first go, or their first time in forever! Their perspectives on love as it takes effect either get sensual, dramatic, or to the extent of a slow burn, as they also deal with life's obstacles along the way and share a part in each other's stories. There are ups and downs as their own stories go along, and it all gets more suspenseful towards the end where problems unfortunately arise. Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on? [Content/Trigger Warnings- the main warnings are scenes of sexual activity, and suicidal talk/attempt, along with mentions of said attempt. Everything else is listed inside the book! Please read the list before reading the book!] [Word count: +140,000 words...I write a lot, but enjoy anyway!]
