Everyone wants the fairytale.
But no one talks about what happens after the wedding, when real life hits hard.
This is the story of Athena and ZJ-young, in love, and completely unprepared for the weight of marriage, bills, a crying baby, and personal failures.
There were nights they wanted to give up.
Moments when they thought they were failures.
Seasons when they stopped praying... or didn't know what to say to God at all.
But somehow by God's grace, they stayed.
They chose the hardest part and learned from it.
Love Through the Storm is a raw, faith-filled journey through the early years of marriage, the heartbreaks, the healing, and the holy moments in between.
Because sometimes, the most powerful love stories aren't the perfect ones...
but the ones that survived.

Insomnia
Maria Garme has always found solace in words. Poetry spills from her like a confession, each stanza stitched with longing, loss, and the quiet ache of a girl who has spent her life on the outside looking in. She doesn't expect anyone to truly understand her-not her absent mother, not her well-meaning but struggling father, and certainly not the enigmatic boy who watches her from across the room at poetry night. Abel Iglesias is all sharp edges and unspoken pain, a storm bottled up in a boy who drowns his emotions in music and midnight skating. The city is his escape, the stars his only witnesses-until Maria steps into his world. Their connection is undeniable, intense, and terrifying. But love doesn't come easy for two people who have spent their lives running from their pasts. When secrets unravel and fear pushes them apart, Maria and Abel are forced to confront the truth: love is beautiful, but it is also heavy. And sometimes, the weight of it is enough to break you. Under the city lights, between whispered poetry and quiet confessions, they must decide-will they keep running, or will they find a way back to each other before it's too late? A raw, lyrical, and deeply emotional story about love, healing, and the echoes we leave in the hearts of those who truly see us.Complete

THE EDGE OF NINETEEN(19)(EDITING)
"Some stories aren't just written-they're survived." Heaven never planned to fall apart quietly. Nineteen was supposed to be her year of survival. Instead, it became the year everything unraveled-family, friendships, and the walls she built around her pain. Diagnosed with BPD, trapped between silence and screams, and carrying scars she thought no one could love, she was certain the world had forgotten her. Then came Chase-gentle, persistent, and painfully human. What began as an accidental connection in a library became the lifeline she never knew she needed. This is not a love story in the way you expect. It's about healing in slow, aching pieces. It's about therapy sessions, midnight breakdowns, found family, and daring to believe in something softer. It's about what happens when you stop surviving and start living. And maybe, just maybe-find someone worth fighting your way back for. Raw. Real. Relatable. If you've ever been on the edge of something-grief, love, adulthood, or your own mind-this book is for you. ---Complete
