Until Our Bodies Remember by AvaElorie

They thought they were done with each other. Years passed, lives changed-yet when they meet again, it feels like nothing ever did. The heart remembers. The glance betrays. The body refuses to forget. Now, face to face with the feelings they once ran from, they must ask: Was it ever truly love-or just a fleeting spark of youth? Memories can build a future... or tear them apart once more. A story of love's memory-and the spark that never dies.

I love you 3000 by Ariel_Lackey

** She spent her childhood searching for love in all the wrong places - longing for a father's approval that never came, comparing herself to a sister she could never measure up to, and carrying the weight of the words that told her she would never be enough. Through heartbreak, silence, and the scars of trauma, she learned how pain lingers in the body, how it shapes the way we see ourselves, and how it can steal the joy from even the brightest moments. but she also discovered something else: that healing is possible, even when the past feels unbearable. Told with raw honesty and unflinching vulnerability, this memoir is a journey through childhood wounds, family secrets, and the quiet battles of self-worth. It is about learning to face the mirror, to confront the lies we have been told, and to find strength in the very places we once felt broken. For anyone who has ever felt unseen, unworthy, or unloved, this story is a reminder that the pain does not define us - and that even in the darkest chapters, hope can still be found.

Life as it is by CRavencraft

She doesn't talk about it not out loud. Not the childhood stolen behind closed doors. Not the nights that blurred into silence. Not the years of shame, of pain, of pretending to be okay. But on the page? She tells the truth. In this deeply personal and soul baring collection, a young woman traces her path through a lifetime of abuse, betrayal, and grief-and the quiet, aching journey of healing that follows. Through poetry, she unearths the stories she's never spoken aloud, giving voice to the trauma that shaped her, and the strength that's carried her through. Each poem is a heartbeat. A scar. A step forward. Sometimes backwards. But always hers. Living. Breaking. Surviving. Healing. This is not just her story. It's the story of anyone who's ever felt broken, unseen, or unheard and still chose to write themselves into the light.

A Promise Carved In Dawn by navirae_

They were once two hearts too young to hold love's weight-their promises lost to time, their hearts bruised by pride. But time has a beautiful way of softening the sharp edges of the past. When fate draws them together again, not as it was before, but as something deeper, steadier, a flame finally strong enough to endure. As souls finally grown enough to keep the promise carved in dawn.

Those In The Dark by SharayClever

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns that can take us to places we never thought possible. While the destination may not always be clear, it's the journey itself that makes life worth living. Come with me as we explore the unpredictable paths 8 individuals take and the challenges they face along the way. From triumphs to tribulations, we'll experience it all. Are you ready?

The Lie She carried by Misscookiess

This book is my truth. Messy. Raw. Honest. A story of love that turned into survival. Of friendships that burned out like dying stars. Of motherhood-the way it shatters you, and then builds you back stronger. I don't write this as a victim, but as a woman who finally chose herself. Who learned that sometimes the people you love the most are the ones you must let go. And that healing isn't a straight line-it's a journey. So if you're reading this, and you're in the middle of your own storm, know this: You're not alone. You are seen. And you will rise.
