The true story of a loveless childhood. 'utterly extra ordinary. Harrowing, deeply disturbing, but ultimately inspiring.' Daily Mail
I handed my school photograph to my mother. She stared from the photograph to me.
'Lord, sweet Lord how come she so ugly. Ugly. Ugly.'
These cruel words are just the beginning. Constance's mother systematically abused her daughter, both physically and emotionally, throughout her child hood. Regularly beaten and starved, the child was so desperate she took herself to social services and tried to get taken into care. When Constance was thirteen, her mother simply moved out , leaving her daughter to fend for herself: there was no gas, no electricity and no food
But somehow Constance found the courage to survive her terrible start in life. This is her heart breaking-and triumphant-story.

Charles King, Lonely hope, part 1.
Once my mum held unrivaled fame and power as a guild member, commanding respect across the world. Then, unexpectedly, my parents left London for the tranquil beauty of the Lake District. Now, on the cusp of my 13th birthday, we are returning to London, to the heart of my parents' former guild. This means I will attend the prestigious school they once graced. But beyond this, I am on the brink of a pivotal event - a Reveal Day. At 13, we undergo a ceremony where our elemental magic is unveiled, determining our destiny, education, and path in life. Yet, life in the countryside is no idyllic retreat. It harbors peril, with monstrous creatures and dangerous animals lurking, some with bounties on their heads, requiring the intervention of guilds to eliminate them. P.s I asked the A. to create my book cover how cool does that look 😁Complete
Racing with the bad boy
No. 1 in car! Amelia Banks isn't your typical girl, knowing all there's is to know about cars, racing and mechanics can make someone an outcast. Despite all of that she loves to dance, which makes her mum happy in the fact that her daughter isn't a complete boy at heart. Amelia's two best friends have personality in bucket loads, so why is her and her friends existence ignored in school? Her next door neighbour Ollie Turner couldn't be anymore different, he has the hearts of every girl in school apart from Amelia and her friends. So what happens when Ollie finally notices her and they get put in the same mechanical engineering class together? Throw in illegal racing, lots of trouble, road trips and love? Could it be a total disaster or a miracle? --------------------------- "What?" I ask him. "why are you here?" He questions. "I'm I'm this class, this is my other class I was telling you about on Saturday, oh do you remember Saturday? When we hung out and spoke all night, oh I guess not, since we're not friends" I spat at him. A flash of hurt appears in his eyes. "Look I'm sorry, the boys wanted to speak to you guys today but I thought you'd be better off without us" what did he mean? That made no sense. "Save it, you knew we'd ruin your reputation since we're outcasts and you're popular and all" he raked a hand through his hair at my statement. "Look, it was scary how fast we got along, it took me months to befriend the lads and with you... and the girls, it was so easy, I won't lie though I wasn't sure how people would react if we hung out but then I realise none of them people mean anything to me, they're nobodies" ***FOLLOW ME FOR RESTRICTED CHAPTERS***Complete
The Grean Household
"It was a mistake..." She told her mother, folding her hands into each other. "Marrying him..." Her mother said nothing, she simply sat there as her only daughter stood across from her, on the verge of collapsing from bruised ribs and cracked shins. "Mom." She wanted to reach out, softly tap her aging mother. Though that was the restriction of her life. The binding stereotype that she was gentle and slow to anger. In reality, what wanted to explode from her ribs was a scream of an animal, and the tears of repressed rage and fear. She wanted to throw her body onto the floor, but the thought made her damaged body ache more. There was no response from her mother. The deafening silence reminded her of her own quietness as her husband shouted at her, his fists bloody. He told her that she was only a tool for his amusement and a money-whore for her indigent family. She was nothing else but a tool for both parties. And she was starting to believe him. --------------------- Sarah Johnsen's life spirals from the normal gritty resilient fight to a serene wonderland. On the outside, she's married to a kind family with untold riches, but on the inside, her husband is the devil himself. Forcefully married at 18, Sarah was forced to kill her own dreams of becoming a doctor in order to bind her poor family to the rich bastards of Glendale by marrying their youngest; Oliver Grean. Their arrangement had the ability to brew the largest timespan of misery any of them has ever known. From lost toddlers to paid staged kidnappings, the binding of the two families, the Johnsen's and the Grean's created a mixture of chaos, confusion, sorrow, fear, grief, and dangerous rage. And there seems to be no haven to escape to. Or is there?
