Red Hands White Knuckles by BeccaMac1

The year was 2013. I had just moved into my first home with my husband and our young daughter. Life was going well until I sat down and began to flip through an old, long forgotten CD binder. As I did memories of my traumatic past came rushing forward out of nowhere and launched me into the greatest, and most difficult journey of my life. This short story is the very first version of what would later become my memoir.

Finding Happiness (Book 1 comes before and ties in to You Series) by Regnado

The second I saw her my skin heated and heart skipped a beat. I knew I had to know who she was. I knew I just needed to be near her. After my horrible marriage I knew getting involved with anyone was the worst thing I could possibly do. The problem was the girl of my dreams was standing right in-front of me partially guarded. She knew my family and knew about my past which should scare me away, but it doesn't it only draws me closer to her. My brother is getting married, I'm the best man, she's the maid of honor. If I screw this up even a little bit everyone is going to have my ass. The second I saw him my mouth went dry. His sculpted arms in that t-shirt covered in ink, my body was telling me to run the other way, to not get involved with this gorgeous dangerous man with a military past. Those gorgeous blue eyes however pulled me in and saw right through every part of me. He's my best friends soon to be brother-in-law, and I have legal custody of a child that isn't mine. Nobody wants to be with a single mom these days, what makes him any different?

Didn't Break Me by jaclynsteele

Didn't Break Me, is my (condensed) personal story of emotional trauma and my decision to face it and do the hard work of healing. The message I hope to send within the pages of my short book is that healing from emotional trauma is possible and that sometimes our deepest pain paves the way to our deepest strength.

Confessions of a pagan gal. {the finally of memoirs} ✔️ by creepypizza666

This is my end of my memoirs for this time of my life this is actually where I'm going to say about my spirituality and how I've overcome PTSD very easily. It is similar to the other autobiographies that I did but it's a lot different in someways because it's more spiritual. That being said it's about my spiritual life and how I deal with life and how some people judge me on it. *noticed on Instagram* **availableon amazon as ebook and paperback, hc** ***please rate kindly on goodreads***

Gabriel and Breah by GroveltoHEA

I'd fallen in love with the president of a motorcycle club. He was perfect for me in every way. Until I discovered he had an ol' lady and little boy that he'd kept from me the whole time we were together. He's in the process of trying to win me back, but I'm about to teach him that you don't mess with a girl with a temper and a Jeep...

Finding ourJoy by MicheleArumugam

A story of love and loss, Joy a young lady, recently divorced, sets out to find her piece of happiness which has so far alluded her. Finding her true self is all she desires. But life always gifts you what you are most in need of. Finding love in the most unexpected place, only to be betrayed again.

Gracie & Gray by uxecila

This isn't a story for the faint of heart. This is a story about a girl who loved a boy. A boy who couldn't love her back. This is a story about the bitter, the sweet, betrayals, second chances, and redemption. If your heart doesn't hurt by the end of this wreckage, then I haven't done my job properly.
