After six years of taking care of everyone else, Emily no longer knows who she is. 
  
  At eighteen, Emily gave up her future to care for her sister Julie, who was battling cancer, and Julie's two young daughters. Emily became a surrogate mother, a caretaker, the steady presence the family needed. Then Julie went into remission, recovered, and needed something Emily hadn't expected - Julie needed her sister to let go. Julie needed to reclaim her life, to be a mother to her daughter's again, to pick up the pieces of her life before her illness.
  
  Suddenly Emily found herself without a purpose, lost without the survival mode she had been in the last six years, unsure of who she was if she wasn't taking care of other people. She moved apartments, moved towns, and struggled to figure out who she was now, who she wanted to be. Then one day she happened upon a book about the Appalachian Trail, and it sparked a wild, crazy idea.
  
  With nothing to lose, Emily sets out to hike the Appalachian Trail, hoping the vast endlessness of the wilderness will help her rediscover who she once was - and the woman she's meant to become. As she journey's through the rugged mountain trails, however, she soon realizes she might not just find herself on this trail... she might also find love.

Southern Charm by anj6232
26 parts Complete Mature
Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations for a twenty-four-year-old. While others her age might be in college or embarking on new careers, Jessie's upbringing on a ranch alongside four brothers equipped her with skills many would balk at. She's adept at horseback riding, calving, stall cleaning, and more. Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time. Although he may appear arrogant externally, that pales in comparison to his internal complexity. Trace and Jessie are initially oblivious to their chemistry, though it's evident to everyone around them. As Jessie gathers the courage to express her feelings to Trace, the things she dreads occur. However, it doesn't make matters worse; it alters everything profoundly. *WARNING* Book contains language, child loss, trauma, etc. Thank you for choosing my story!
