Thomasson Nightingale was the first, but he also brought the stories from Talia.
She recounts the life of her mother, Cecilia, as she was a kid, and recounts how she and Thomasson's father came to be, before and after her second boys birth at the age of twenty-three. Afterwards, life just gets a little bit harder, but Talia's stories never stop.
Join her as her life skyrockets, plummets in the ground, and has a rocky middle to end. Talia Judith Jansen is a devoted mother that will never give up on her kids and always has stories for them for as long as she can go for.

I won't apologise for it." "Now you expect me to give you another chance?" His voice was angry, but he knew in his heart that had already forgiven her. How could he pretend that he wasn't in purgatory the entire time that she was gone? Or that seeing her again, was the first time the world seemed right again? How could he pretend that he didn't love her when all he wanted was to take her in his arms and kiss her senseless? "Just give me a chance to explain, please Killian." Rachel pleaded; it was strange he had never seen her bend so easily to anyone. She was a wildfire that couldn't be tamed, so then why did she look like her flames had been quietened?

The Silence Between Our Hearts.
Lin Qiyan was born into perfection - wealth, intellect, and a family name that demanded nothing less than obedience. When her parents arranged her marriage to Zhao Yichen, a stoic heir from another powerful family, she accepted without protest. Their relationship was built not on love, but on duty - a quiet coexistence wrapped in respect. But the morning after their wedding, Qiyan's life is stolen. Her soul is torn from her body, cast into a cruel world where she becomes a nameless girl with nothing but scars. Trapped with abusive parents and stripped of her identity, she learns what it means to suffer, to endure, and to break. Years later, when death finally releases her and she awakens once more in her original body, the world she knew has not paused for her pain. Her husband is distant, her family unchanged, and her heart no longer whole. Haunted by memories of violence and silence, Qiyan must learn to live again - to find warmth in the man who was once a stranger, and to rediscover love in the quiet between two broken hearts. A story of loss, healing, and love that blooms from the ashes - The Silence Between Our Hearts is a tender, heartbreaking journey of what it means to return, not as who you were, but as who you've become. --- If someone comes up with a better photo, please comment. And I'm working to get the full story out as fast as I can, so bear with me, I'm going to try to get 5 to 10 chapters a day out. Any comments on the book would be encouraging.
