Jacky has spent her whole life surviving. With a mother whose love comes in sharp words and broken glass, home has never been a safe place-only a prison with locked doors and silence as a shield. When the pain becomes unbearable, Jacky makes the hardest decision of her life: she runs.
With nothing but a backpack and a burning need for freedom, Jacky finds refuge with her best friend Ana-a girl who's always been her lifeline. Ana's home, with its warm kitchen and carefully curated calm, seems like the answer to everything Jacky has ever wanted. But peace comes with a price.
Beneath the surface of Ana's picture-perfect family lies a darkness all its own. Whispers behind closed doors. Eyes that follow Jacky's every move. And a secret so heavy it could shatter everything Jacky thought she knew-not just about Ana, but about herself.
As Jacky uncovers the truths Ana has tried so hard to hide, she begins to realize that escaping one kind of pain doesn't mean she's safe from another. And some secrets refuse to stay buried.
Where the Quiet Begins is a haunting, emotional journey of resilience, found family, and the quiet courage it takes to start over-even when the past refuses to let go.

It does have around 40 chapters so it might not seem like it. But trust me that it is.] ||Full Disclosure|| I started the book in the end of 8th grade so it needs MAJOR editing. It also does have Sexual Chapters, as well as people of the same sex being together, murder, brutally torture talk of rape and sexual harassment. So if you do not wish to read things like that then this unfortunately isn't the book for you. ||You Have Been Warned|| First book in the Heart series. •Do Not Copy This Book In Anyway•Concluida
On Our Own
Alex has never lived a normal life. For as long as he can remember, it's been just him, his older brother Dare, and Dare's best friend Viktor-moving from town to town, never staying long enough to put down roots. Motel rooms and back roads are the closest thing he has to home. When Dare takes a long-term construction job, Alex finally gets the chance to spend a whole year in one place. For the first time, he goes to school, makes friends, and begins to wonder what he's been missing. But the stability he's always wanted comes with a price: the risk of being discovered, judged, or even torn away from the only family he's ever had. As Alex struggles to balance the life he wants with the life he has, tragedy forces him to face questions he's not ready to answer-and Dare and Viktor to confront the choices that have kept them running for so long. On Our Own is a coming-of-age story about family, friendship, and the painful truth that sometimes love isn't enough to make things okay.

Silently Falling
Highest ranking: #1 in Teen Fiction -- "Sunshine, what guy do you know has a weird fetish with sign language?" She's the aftermath of a high school party nightmare. Tragedy robbed her of her innocence and stole her voice before she had the chance to speak out. The court called her a liar, and the guilty was set free. Now memories plague her mind and trap her in solitude. She was forced to learn sign language, struggling to find a way to voice her silence. He's the definition of the boy she tried to stay away from. The epitome of harsh rumors and hopeless fantasies. The source of lies and blame. He's analyzed, misunderstood, and utterly mysterious. And he may be the one to find her voice. When they meet, she gets accustomed to his arrogance and he gets accustomed to her silence. An essay is what brings them together, but what happens when he starts asking too many questions? Will her past continue to drag her down, or will he save her? Fate has a funny way of bringing people together, but it doesn't always work how it's supposed to. *different summary inside* "Perfect amount of tragedy, humor, and romance!" -Sparkles530 "I feel like I learned a lot from your story, thank you." - 980Sarah "This book is beautifully written.
