A historical feminist piece which explores the difficulties of family expectation, social as well as gender inequality and the complexity of identity. Combining what was socially acceptable in the period with what was controversial or socially unacceptable, it highlights a bond between brother and sister which is later discovered to be more as family secrets are revealed. It questions the societal norms and expectations of the English culture and highlights the struggle of individual identity during the Victorian Era and additionally analyses the consequences of an individual suppressing their own sexual orientation.

Ashamed: A Tale of Forbidden Romance
I am from India. And here we have huge families. As in you might be genetically far from each other but still if you share the surname to be specific gotra and your great great grandparents were related then you people are considered cousins. You are cousins. And it is a sin to have romantic desires in such scenarios. My story is somewhat similar. Our protagonists are each other's far away cousins. They share a surname, they share the gotra. So it is expected that they consider each other as brother and sister. But when you meet that brother/sister of yours once a year you don't actually believe you are a family. This story is about what happens when their path interacts, not once but so many times, and the feelings that develop aren't brotherly or sisterly.
Family Comes First
Being alone? Check. Being afraid? Check. Being abused? Check times 3. Honestly, my life wasn't this bad before, not until I ended in foster care... SIKE! My life was always bad. From the moment I was born, I lived with an abusive father who blamed me for my mother's death, and even I couldn't disagree with him. Here are a few questions I am constantly asked: 'Do I do well in school?' No, are you kidding me? The only subject I'm good at is Visual Arts. 'Do I have a kind and caring family?' No, I don't think I do. 'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward. 'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household. Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some. 'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends.
