Signing Love (#Wattys 2018)
Preview: I looked up, and smiled at Cole. I knew what has happened to me. I just didn't want to show too much of it. Ever since I started to know him, I was really happy. Even though I didn't have too many friends, I felt like I had the world supporting me. That feeling, is so hard to explain. "Are you ready for the science project tomorrow, Samantha?" He asked me. 'I told you, it's Sami. And yes, I'm ready.' I wrote on a piece of paper. I taught him a little sign language, but he only knows the basics. Like greetings. 'I guess this is where we part ways.' He nodded in agreement "Well, see you tomorrow." He waved as I started walking away from him. Right then, I put my middle and ring finger down, and kept my pinky finger, index finger, and my thumb up, I showed him my hand gesture, palm facing away from my face. He gave me a confused look, and I laughed at it. I turned around to walk away. Meaning? I love you. Summary: Samantha (Sami) Connor has been through a lot. She has lost her mother at a young age, and has also been raped. She has trust issues, and she hasn't said a word since she was five years old. But Cole Turner is the exact opposite. The school's hottest bad boy has girls swoon over him, and so much more. Through a journey of love, death, and heartbreak, will Cole and Sami get together anytime?Complete
The Way We Get By
Boys don't have eating disorders. Those are only for vain, teenage girls. Not for Alex. Alex Rivera doesn't know why he started counting calories or why he's addicted to stepping on the scale. He just knows it's what he needs to do. His parents don't understand, and neither does his twin brother - the hotshot player of the school. His little sister doesn't get it. His fucking pet lizard doesn't get it. None of them understand how, a family so happy and so healthy, could've festered this disorder. A disorder that's taken everything from Alex. As the heartbreaking secrets unfold and Alex's disorder is brought under the microscope, the Riveras must find a way to get by, even through the impossibility of Alex's eating disorder, a molestation charge, and the realization that pain isn't always clear-cut and obvious. Told through multiple point of views, The Way We Get By shines a light on the often ignored side of mental health and eating disorders, and it shows that with a little love, humor, and sacrifice, absolutely anything is possible. - - Highest Ranks: |#1| - ednos |#1| - disorder |#1| - mentalillness |#2| - eating |#3| - recoveryComplete

As a result, her dad fell into many patterns of abuse, leaving her to deal with the aftermath of it all.

During her junior year at Lower East Side High School, she meets Gabriel Santiago. He's known throughout the halls for his association with the most dangerous gang in the city, as well as his ice cold demeanor, all at the age of 17. He's as heartless as it gets - at least that's what everyone thinks. The two know nothing about each other. Despite that, they can't seem to hate each other more. But as time goes on, and they continue to cross paths, something changes. They begin to realize that there's a whole different side of the other that nobody knows about, yet it's the side that they might not hate about one another. That's what makes it even more complicated. As they each dig deeper past the facade the other has created over years of tragedy and destruction, it becomes dangerous for everyone involved.
