29 parts Complete MatureRooted in Love follows sixteen-year-old Layla, a soft-spoken Black girl learning to bloom at her own pace. With her heart protected and her peace non-negotiable, Layla lives a quiet life wrapped in warmth - raised by her two loving moms and surrounded by the laughter of her twin baby sisters. She keeps her circle small, only letting in people who feel like home.
As a femme lesbian in her soft girl era, Layla craves a love that mirrors the tenderness she was raised in - one that's gentle, intentional, and real. When someone new begins to see her in all the quiet ways that matter, Layla must navigate what it means to be soft and still be strong. Because love, for her, isn't about falling - it's about choosing. And if it doesn't feel like peace, it's not hers to keep.
A story about love that starts at home, boundaries wrapped in beauty, and a girl who knows she is worth softness in every form.
