"The only way you succeed in society is if you possess a fairer shade. But such truths can found no further than its neighborhood in the Philippines."

Michel and Jean Descocteaux moved to the Philippines because their father was required to be there. Because of that, they have to acclimate themselves in a new culture they have no idea what it is about. As typical as many teenagers, they will fall in love with the natives. While falling in love, the Descocteaux and their significant others must navigate through a society that only advances people who are mestizos or American or at least European looking.

[This story is free as of February 10, 2021] "Move over A Walk to Remember, and make way for one of the most heartwarming stories this side of Wattpad. It's so cute, I could cry (again)." - Grace @ HQ After tragedy strikes, Nolan loses all faith and never expects to love, let alone smile again until Nora-perky and persistent-walks into his life. ***** 15-year-old Nolan Haynes has everything. A loving family, a promising future as a filmmaker, and a pretty cool group of friends. That is until tragedy strikes and he's forced to move towns. Nolan vows never to let anyone in ever again-they always leave. But on a summer day two years later, when the super upbeat, Nora walks to his lunch table-Nolan has to try a bit harder to keep a smile off his face. Little does he know that Nora is fighting a battle of her own, one that no one could even imagine. And as the two get closer, they not only find solace in each other but in God. When Nolan is faced with a situation in which he has to break Nora's trust to protect her, can their budding relationship still stand and will God show up in all of this?

NOTICE: Before the Morning is currently undergoing revisions! A sensitivity reader (someone who goes through your manuscript and assesses representations in your work) identified a number of issues surrounding the Filipino representation in BTM. I'm rewriting with the goal of creating a more authentic and respectful story. I'm sorry for the pain I caused by failing to include accurate Filipino culture and in having written from Nora's point of view.

If You Knew Me

42 parts Complete

Mara has always been in the shadows of her three sisters. First there's Tate, the youngest, who has an incredible amount of talent and passion for dance. Then there's Adalynn, the most popular girl in the junior class who is embarrassed to have a sister as lame as Mara. And finally, there's Baileigh, the oldest of the four and Mara's best friend who moved across the country last summer to follow her dreams. Out of the four sisters, Mara is the only one with absolutely no plans, but she likes it that way. All she's looking forward to is following Baileigh to Los Angeles after graduation. Until then, she's fine with being the girl in the hallway that no one talks to, and she likes drinking smoothies alone at Bigfoot's Diner. She prefers it that way. But what happens when Mara is thrust into the world full of drama that she has always been able to avoid? Will she be able to find her way back out? Or will she want to stay?
