How do you overcome the ghosts that haunt you? The ghosts that threaten to tear apart the only family you've ever had? How do you learn to love and be loved? How do you heal?

Ivory Owens kept quiet about the abuse for 17 years. 
It weighed on her, silently ruining relationships, damaging her psyche and self worth, costing her more than she could afford both mentally and physically. 

Every day of silence destroying her that much more.

The day she decides to speak the truth, her whole world comes crashing down around her in flames.
She's thrown to the wolves by those who were supposed to protect her, and she is left to pull herself off the floor and face her worst fears

A dark, heart-wrenching true story of a young woman who faces her demons and learns to start again.

What If We Drown ✓ oleh brianamaewrites

Ashlyn hasn't spoken a word since the age of eight, and her heart's never felt more protected. But, when the confident and ever so charming Derek stumbles into her quiet little world, her emotions-and forbidden desires-have never been so loud. ***** For twenty years, silence is all Ashlyn Holland has known. Haunted by the memories of her father, and the harrowing song of the ocean that stole him from her, Ashlyn maintains a safe distance from the rest of the world. Treading carefully the sea of fear and anguish that surrounds her, Ashlyn is determined to do all she can to protect her heart from such a tragic loss striking again. In silence, she grieves. In silence, she is safe. In silence, she finds the strength to breathe. But the silence can only last so long... Derek Moreno is charming and devoted, and quick to see through every wall Ashlyn erects. With his arrival in town, defences fold and walls begin to crumble, the songs of her heart reaching new heights. Together, they crest twin tides of fate, the silence she'd once sought engulfed by his gentle touch, and the whispers of a love thought impossible. For the summer, Ashlyn welcomes the noise. The disruption. But, the ghosts of Derek's past will no longer remain silent, and their deafening power has the potential to drag them both into a current strong enough to drown them amidst their heartache.

Evolution oleh andshesmiles

There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING... HARMFUL THEMES INCLUDING MENTION OF SUICIDE, SELF HARM, AND RAPE. THIS HAS EXPLICIT CONTENT. RECOVERY AND AWARENESS IS THE PURPOSE OF SHARING. DO NOT READ IF THESE THEMES ARE OFFENSIVE OR HARMFUL TO YOU.

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•

Under The Broken Rays 9-1-1 oleh Worldia

Eddie thought he had overcome everything. Pain-he knew it in all its forms: betrayal, loss, grief. He had faced death, brushed against it more than once. He had learned to endure, to survive, to rebuild. He believed he was finally at peace, that finding his son and rebuilding stability meant the battle was finally over. But one night was enough to change everything. One night to awaken a pain he had buried so deep that he had convinced himself it didn't exist. A pain that carves itself into the flesh, that scars the soul, that haunts the days and consumes the nights. A night when his body was no longer his own. So Eddie stays silent. He swallows his screams, hides his trembling hands, pretends that everything is fine. But his silence is poison, and with each passing day, he feels the walls closing in. It's not just that night he must confront. It's everything he has suppressed, everything he never dared to face-the ghosts of his past. His parents, Shannon, Christopher, expectations, sacrifices, imposed choices, his past. His own reflection staring back at him. Who is he, beyond what others have shaped him to be? How long can someone survive while carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders? How long can someone pretend before they finally break? Caught between silence and pain, Eddie fights not to drown. But maybe healing isn't found in forgetting. Maybe it lies in acceptance. And maybe, also, in forgiving oneself. This story is an ode to healing, to acceptance. To finding light in the darkness. To the journey of a man learning to rebuild and love himself.
