If You Love Me
"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023Complete

Always, Jessie (Completed)
Welcome! I write in all different genres and for all different ages. Some, like this book, are a bit more dramatic. Others are completely silly. I've been told I should stick with one age range or one genre so I can brand myself and market to niche markets. But there are so many stories I want to tell! And I don't think of myself as a brand. I think of myself as a storyteller. That's why I'm excited to join Wattpad. The creativity I've discovered just in the past few days is amazing! Always, Jessie has already been published. I can only share part of this book due to publisher guidelines, but I'll be posting once or twice a week until then. Description: Jessie is an ambitious but lonely girl struggling with an eating disorder and exercise addiction. After a life-threatening incident sends her to the hospital, Jessie agrees to enter a residential treatment facility, where she meets a diverse group of young women also on the journey to recovery. Reviewers have called this inspirational novel "amazingly honest and poignant" and "an eye-opener for how food disorders can overtake young people." Personal Note: Many books on eating disorders focus on the illness and a heroine who makes a magical recovery in the last few pages. When I struggled with bulimia and exercise addiction, I hated those types of books. I wanted to write a novel that more accurately reflected the journey of recovery people go through. I didn't just magically get better one day. I went into treatment and worked hard on recovery. Jessie is not me, but she does reflect my experiences and the experiences of the friends I met as I got better. If you're a reader struggling with food or weight issues, I've compiled a list of resources where you can find help.
