A woman running from heartbreak. A little girl waiting to be found. One night that changes everything. 

Tess Harper's life has grown small - just her, her writing, and the ache of what used to be. 

Then, in the middle of the night, she hears it: a cry. Faint, frightened... Impossible to ignore. 

What she finds that night - a tiny girl clutching a worn stuffed bunny, whispering into the dark - will break her heart wide open. 

Maddie doesn't talk about what happened before, but her bruises tell enough of the story. And Tess, who swore she had nothing left to give, will risk everything to keep her safe. 

In a world of broken things, Tess learns that real love doesn't always come from where you expect it to. Sometimes, it's found in the smallest hands, and in every little heartbeat beside your own.

Updates on Sunday & Thursday.

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023
