Celestine's life begins in Braes River, a small Jamaican village where green hills stretch as far as the eye can see, and the river flows calmly through the land. But her peaceful childhood is shattered by tragedy. When she loses her twin sister and her mother, her family is broken apart, and Celestine is sent to live with her strict aunt in Andrew's Hill.

Life with her aunt is hard. Celestine is forced to work long hours at the farmers' market, and every penny she earns goes toward her keep. But deep inside, she dreams of escape. Her journey takes her from the quiet beauty of Braes River to the loud, fast-paced streets of Kingston. She hopes to build a better life for herself and her family here, surrounded by the city's energy.

As Celestine struggles to provide for her children, the weight of her past follows her. When she faces a devastating loss, she must find the strength to keep going, even as grief and guilt threaten to overwhelm her. Through it all, Celestine learns what it means to survive, love, and fight for a brighter future.

The Braes to Blue is a heartfelt story of family, resilience, and hope. Kevaughn Thames brings to life the challenges of growing up in rural Jamaica and the courage it takes to rise above them. Celestine's journey is one of heartbreak, determination, and the unbreakable bond of family.جميع الحقوق محفوظة

Always بقلم beyonceisnumber1

This is the story of a girl who was born into a family so different compared to who she was. They had a high status in society, often holding dinner parties for all of Houston's most substantial families but she didn't care for money or PHDs. Instead she cared about creativity, art and music. She cared about the inside of people instead of the out, she didn't meet someone and judge them on their choice of clothing as her parents did but instead on their choice of word. She was so different that they tried to contain her, they tried to make her like them. A proud rich girl living in a bubble they created. She couldn't stand it, she didn't like the private schools, the nannys and butlers or perfect English. So she did what many teenagers did, she rebelled. Her rebellion was falling in love, getting pregnant and running away at 16 years old. She fell in love so easily and so beautifully but the boy didn't, he didn't care for her or his child and that's when she ran away. She knew where she wasn't wanted and she never saw him again. This is the story of a young woman going back home because her daughter demanded it. Her daughter wanted to meet her family and so at 32 years old with a 16 year old child. This is the story of her coming back and falling into the arms of an old friend. Shawn.

Bonnie بقلم FFRRLFSS

In the heart of a charming coastal town, Bonnie Tatum lives life with a fierce independence built on hardship, heartache, and an iron will. A florist with a passion for cars and a past full of scars, she's spent years keeping everyone at arm's length-especially Riley West, the golden-hearted contractor who's been hopelessly in love with her since high school. But fate has other plans. When a summer storm strands them together in a tiny house on the outskirts of town, long-buried emotions erupt in a clash of fire and vulnerability. One night changes everything, setting them on a slow-burning journey from enemies to lovers-full of tenderness, laughter, and undeniable passion. From secret moments under the stars to building their dream home by the old blue lighthouse, Bonnie and Riley's story is one of healing, trust, and family. As their love deepens, they face life's biggest surprises-heartfelt holidays, growing families, and the realization that home isn't a place; it's who you build it with. This is a story of resilience, found family, and a love strong enough to weather any storm.

In My Way بقلم LivingMyBestLove

"Mad. Mad thoughts. Crazy, twisted, sinewy. Mad obsession. You sicken me. You're so beautiful, love. I grind you into a fine, soft powder and inhale you...and then lick you off of my fingers. You love, answer me. Your face brings me death every day...and every day I can't wait to die. Bury me now, love. Bury me now." I give full credit of my story to Regina Crosby. It is a work of fiction based on the film "Teenage Dirtbag" written and directed by Regina herself, based on true events from her life. It has inspired me in so many ways and it would be an honor to write from inside the characters' heads instead of seeing it on screen. Thank you Regina, for this amazing work of art.

Jazz: Vol 3 of the Still Waters Series بقلم KalilahCoulter

Jazz, a small town girl, has never been outside of her close-knit section of Baton Rouge, but deep down she knows that there's another world out there just waiting for her to stumble upon it. A world away from her abusive father, away from her inattentive mother, even away from The Organization that she loves so much. A world where the passion and excitement that she always dreamed of are an every day thing. Jazz just needs to...get away. Her chance finally comes one night when, in a panic, Jazz stabs her own father to protect her sister, then spends the next eleven months in jail. When she is finally released, Jazz finds that everything is different. Her sister now has a young daughter and is living with the man that Jazz was just beginning to fall for. Her mother and other siblings are no longer speaking to her, and blame Jazz for breaking the family apart. Her best friend, who helped "take care of" her father that fateful night, has been sent to a boy's home in another state, and now Jazz is all alone. This story follows Jazz on a wide-eyed journey out of her small world in search of a better life. Along the way she meets Rico, Houston's north side kingpin, and falls madly in love. Slowly, she works her way into his heart and gradually established herself as his Queen, hoping to forever reign beside her King. This is the third novel in the Still Waters Series, and it's interesting to see how quickly Jazz's journey to self discovery transforms into a path of self-destruction. Throughout The Still Waters Series, we follow Jazz's tale of heartbreak and redemption, lies and truths, and discover that Jazz, with all of her many addictions, is not very different from the rest of us. Jazz will have you yelling at the pages and praying that she finally finds what she's looking for at the same time. Come take a ride through her world to understand why still waters do often run deeper than the untrained eye can see. Coming Soon! Copyright @KalilahCoulter 2018
