Liam Cheng has always felt the weight of his Chinese family's expectations in France. Caught between his father's silent support for basketball and his mother's unfulfilled dreams, he reluctantly joins the team, seeing it as another obligation. But when an unexpected accident-rooted in family chaos-leaves him in a wheelchair, everything changes.
As Liam grapples with anger and loss, he faces the harsh reality of a world without basketball, until a gruff coach with a shattered past challenges him to confront his limitations. Through wheelchair basketball, Liam embarks on a tumultuous journey of self-discovery, navigating betrayal, unexpected friendships, and the struggle for identity.
"Dream Above the Rim" is a powerful coming-of-age tale about resilience and the unpredictable journey to find one's true self amidst shattered dreams and renewed hope.

Heartless
Luke Kennard is living his dream. He's an NBA rookie, first-round draft pick. So why does he feel so empty? This story is a companion to Bring Me to Life, Still and I'll Find You. If you have not read Bring Me to Life and Still, this story may be somewhat confusing. It takes place at the same time as I'll Find You. The same disclaimers apply to this as the stories listed above; there is profanity and although not explicit, it is very suggestive. In addition, this book contains some themes that are not present in the other books. There are story lines involving deaths, including the death of a child and there is mention of addiction issues. If any of those things trigger you, please be forewarned and message me if you need more information. Also, the medical conditions and information in this story is largely the product of my overactive imagination. I do not pretend to have actual medical knowledge of any of it (tbqh, I probably saw it on TV at some point and adapted it to whatever fit the story). Also, it should go without saying, but this is a work of fiction.Complete
