Emma Belle lives with her alcoholic father in a small trailer in Virginia. She plays the violin, and finds solace only in her mothers quilt and in her music. Emma's mother passed away when she was eight years old, and Emma, or her father, haven't been the same since her mother's passing. Emma's mother always told her she could beat this world. Her and Emma. Just the two of them. But how could Emma possibly beat a world with an alcoholic father, a dead mother, no friends, and just her mothers quilt and a violin? 

Rhododendron and Pumpkin Spice is a story of solace in music. Finding the courage inside of you to beat anything that comes in your way. That you have to be brave when nobody else is brave for you, and to remember that you're never alone even when you think your world, is crashing down.

Safe and Sound: The Short Memoir by StorytellProjects
4 parts Complete Mature
Safe and Sound: The Short Memoir written by Elliot Parker. I've always written stories and music about my personal life. It was the only thing that would heal my scars and wounds. However, there was always a hidden layer of truth that I tried to shield from everyone in order to protect myself. Everything I write tends to be about my thoughts, feelings and emotions but in a way that I could keep them private. This essentially led me to bottle it all up and throw it far into the water. And then I was pulled underwater where I was going to have to face every part of my brain and heart in order to swim through the storm I became trapped in. This story was written about my life in ways I've never explored with writing. It was excruciating to look at my deepest insecurities, the feelings for a boy who never loved me back, and the most traumatic events I've had to experience, in the eyes. Writing a memoir that was originally for an assignment, turned into something more for me. It allowed me to revisit the past and try to explain them in my words, instead of rumors being spread faster than a forest fire. Sometimes you don't know you're hurting until you're being forced to sit in a locked room with your past. Realizing just how much pain and suffering I am still going through was tough, but it opened my eyes and allowed me to release the words I've been holding hostage for months. These four chapters were written about moments in my life that I've never shared with anyone before. I'm ready to tell my story. CHAPTERS: Chapter 1: Red Autumn Chapter 2: Heartbreak Boy Chapter 3: The Void Chapter 4: Eyes Open
