No one ever talks about that scarred foot, palms thick as calves, the lost limbs...
We don't know just how suffocating the dust really is, fighting a loosing battle with the stench of fear while dancing round legs light and heavy, eager and aching to move. We fail to grasp the weight of the word "Charge!"
More words will carry the pain of who that feet, those palms and forgotten limbs belong to, their melancholic tunes will float with the wind, a dirge will hold the sail of their memories steady as the sea walks with a raft carrying the world to the shores of 1971.

The Forgotten Ones (A Completed Steamy, Historical Romance)
We know a lot about the American Civil War. We know about the battle at Gettysburg and how Sherman burned Atlanta but do you know many individual stories? Follow Oliver and Naomi from their arranged marriage through the war. It will be quite a journey as Naomi faces the war home alone and Oliver fights battle after battle. She will face one of the cruelest band of the southern militia army as she tries to protect the people she loves most. This is a story about the ones left home during the war. The one's who earned no great merit or place in history. The forgotten heroes of a bloody war that stood for freedom and equality for all Americans. I based some of facts in the story on writings left behind by my family that lived here in Indiana in the 1860s. My ancestors were Quaker and they were abolitionists in Indiana. We still have their homes used in the underground railroad in our family. My other side was endangered servants from Ireland and my great-great-grandfather was, unfortunately, one of the soldiers that came to Indiana while serving under John Hunt Morgan. He was the rest of my family's enemy. https://www.wattpad.com/646167251-the-forgotten-ones-a-completed-steamy-historical Please keep in mind this story is based in America during the 1860s and it was a different time.

BURNING PASSION | BOOK 1✔️
"Kassauni, there is more to life than continuous pain and suffering. I am sure you know that, and no one is asking you to go through it alone," She told me. I took a long drag from the blunt and held it in my lungs before releasing it. "Whatever yah talk 'bout sound like a fairy tale and mi nuh want yuh feel like me is a problem fi yuh fix," I stated, staring into her eyes. She frowned, deeply. "You need to talk to someone, or me. I am here for you if you need anything." Her voice came out softer than usual. "Rosalia, left that. It nuh concern yuh," I told her. She hissed her teeth and slapped the blunt out of my hand. "Mi try talk to yuh, but if yuh nah go at least try to get help then mi nuh need fi deh here. Stay by yuhself since a that yuh fucking want." She turned and started walking away. // He was abandoned by his parents. Time and time again they let him down, not realizing that each time it was draining him. He isn't the most sentimental guy, probably one of the most nonchalant and controlling people you've ever met. She was sweet and came from what people would call the perfect family. In a short time, she made him indecisive and question himself. Peeled away every armor he had shielding his insecurities. She broke him but stood by him while he rebuilt himself into a better man. The man he always wanted to be. The man he knew she deserved. _______________________________ - Mature Content (18+) - ViolenceComplet

Spin off book is "There is no forever" based on Sara and Abhram ∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆ 1. Umm, I personally felt that love progress in the book was bit fast. 2. The book is a rollercoaster ride, and at some chapter you will find male character too good or too bad. 3. The female character is kind of stubborn but forgiving and kind. 4. There is mature scenes in book, so If you are below 18 or uncomfortable with the adult content, do not bother to go ahead. 5. The book doesn't revolve around lead characters only, I have tried to involve each and every character of this book till a certain limit. 6. May be few things frustrate you or make you angry, But I request you all to be polite and think before you make any comment because being a person I have feelings that get hurt easily and I am kind off bitchy person so I retort back rudely, so please place your opinion politely, if you feel that there is too much drama and all just quit reading, do not bother to leave violent and harsh comments. 7. Okay with all this? Go ahead,Complet
