"For my family and in a loving memory of the women who came before us." - Jacqueline Woodson.
"For Elizabeth Riley, who was and always will be my second mother." - Hudson Talbott.
(This true story isn't by me. This true story is from the author Jacqueline Woodson who talks about her family before her in this true story. This true story is also illustrated by Hudson Talbott. I'm actually new here in Wattpad, so this is the first time I'm making my favourite story from Jacqueline Woodson. This story doesn't have chapters and it's quite short, so sorry. But hope you'll enjoy it! ^^)

(All my Hand in Hand Chronicles relate to the Violent Delights series, but are completely stand alone. This one takes place in the 1200s and early 1300s) Trigger/Content Warning: Extended psychological and physical abuse, a character experiences PTSD Throughout. Blood violence. Torture. Family issues, grief. A character exhibits suicidal ideation throughout. Fear and coping with PTSD are major themes. Be aware of your mental state and seek help as needed. *Alcohol use throughout which may be triggering to some readers. In the time period in which the novel is set wine was drunk instead of water, Sack was a harder liquor form of wine.Complete

The Blind Werewolf Princess (1st book of Werewolf Series)
I always thought that the streets were a place that I was going to end up at. I always thought that I would end up dead on the streets because of... my disability. I always thought that I would have no family and no one to care about me as I cared for others. And yet, that all changed when she walked into my life. She brought me a family, and to this day, I could not understand why she chose me and not someone else. Not only did she walk into my life, but she also changed it. She changed it for better or worse, and I could not decide which was possible because she and her family were different. They were something much more than what people could see. And I was different. Not only was I blind, but I was also a Princess. I was a princess of this strange group, and I had been hidden away from birth. At the time, I did not know who I was being hidden from, but when I found out who I was hiding from, I was glad that I had been hidden. Because, if I surely had not been hidden, then I would surely have died. _______________________________________ NOTE: IF YOU READ THIS BOOK ON ANY OTHER APP BESIDES WATTPAD THEN IT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.
