The Price of Silence
Jennilen and Kevin once had the kind of love that felt unbreakable-passionate, devoted, and filled with dreams of a future together. She was a brilliant doctor, he was a relentless prosecutor, and their life was meant to be perfect. But love is fragile, and one terrible mistake shattered everything. Their unborn child, the heart of their dreams, was taken from them. And in the aftermath of that tragedy, the truth that surfaces between them is far more devastating than the loss itself. Blame turns to rage. Love turns to silence. And every day, they become strangers trapped in a marriage that cannot be saved. As long-buried secrets unravel, Jennilen and Kevin are left with only one question- When love has already been destroyed, is there anything left to fight for? A raw, emotional journey through love, grief, and the pain of unspoken words, *The Price of Silence* is a heart-wrenching tale of a marriage built on passion but doomed by betrayal. And sometimes, the worst goodbyes are the ones that never get said.Complete

Our Loud Secrets
This book contains of short stories that feel so long, fixed, and never ending in our hearts. We all have the kinds of hidden tears that we never and cannot tell to anyone. Some have secret embarrassment, secret what ifs, secret pain, secretly hoping for something or someone, secret regrets, and even secret happiness that we believed should be kept hidden. The kind of pain that we want to reveal and hide, let go and imprint, and forget and remember. Secrets are meant to come out into our world in different form yet similar. Almost likely yet imperfect. Sometimes, the most beautiful and hurtful that one experience is in silence, and so great lessons are. It is never our obligation to teach and share the greatest secret lessons in our lives but a willingness to silence and calm someone's chaotic mind. Our whispering secrets that kept on getting loud every heartbeat... .. our loud secrets.

Dead on Arrival - Resurrected by Grace
I love the beginnings of stories. Whether it be a book or a movie, I enjoy the opening scenes the most. Because they hold all the promises of what is to come; unburdened by commitment or baggage. Beginnings are full of hope. This story is an exception. Because the beginning of it is a sad one. It's the ending, however, that makes this story worthwhile. It's been several years since these events occurred and I have spent the majority of that time contemplating how best to share this story. Why? Because stories are important and everyone has one. This one is mine...Complete
