In a home where traditions speak louder that words, Zara,a young girl finds herself in the middle of a world she never chose. Marriage over education, Silence over freedom. Bound by a promise made when she was born, Zara's life was decided long before she understood what choice meant. Betrothed to an old man at a very young age, her future was sealed by customs she never agreed to. But Zara grows up with a different fire in her heart. A deep love for education, knowledge, and the dream of building a life beyond the limits placed on her. When an unexpected friendship enters her life, a small spark of hope begins to grow. What starts as an unlikely friendship soon becomes a doorway to courage, resistance, and the possibility of escape. As Zara battles the weight of tradition and the call of her dreams, she must decide how far she will go to claim the future she deserves. The Median is a story of courage, friendship, determination ,and the strength it takes to rise above the harsh realities of child marriage.

Isolate

No one ever wanted Riley Knight: not her father, who made sure she didn't have any part in his or his families life; not her mother, who resented her for virtually everything; nor her step father, who has hated her since before she was born. Not even her own big brothers -- the ones who are suppose to love and protect her no matter what -- wanted her. Or so she thought. Riley is the product of an affair -- well her and her twin brother, Rome, are -- but she never had two parents. See, her father has always had "something against" the female sex and therefore, it is weak in his eyes to have a daughter. So he kept Rome and sent Riley away from the second the twins were born. He is the one responsible for turning his six sons against his youngest child and only daughter and, therefore, chaining her to a life of abuse and neglect. But did he succeed? Following her fathers death 7 years ago, Riley's brothers have taken a bigger interest in her and her quality of life, ensuring it was up to par. But all is still not perfect among the Knight siblings. Will Riley finally find her solace among her big brothers? Will they find out about the horrors she faces on a day-to-day basis? Can this family ever become one again ... or do the scars run too deep?
