"A church that lived and died by pretty lies." In this small Southern town Josephine believes she understands the life she's been given. She is the preacher's wife, she makes the iced sweet tea and smiles when expected. As Josephine continues into motherhood, she begins to notice what the town celebrates, what it erases, and who is allowed to be forgiven. When a famous blues musician returns home, old loyalties, old sins, and the quiet certainty that nothing buried ever truly leaves drifts back into town. The truth does not arrive all at once. It seeps in slowly, like something in the water-through glances held too long and names never spoken. By the time Josephine understands the cost of what has been protected, it is too late to undo it. Some things are never meant to be poured out. They are sweetened, decorated with lemon, and called tradition.

DIG IN, sweethearts, you won't regret, promise.

Address unknown. Recipient unreachable. Unwritten Letters is a haunting anthology of 'almosts.' It is the poetry of the unsent text, the swallowed heartaches, the questions that have no answers to and the love that was too big for the wrong person. A visceral reminder that sometimes the most important things we say are the ones we say to the ghosts of people who are still alive.

A decision that could heal-or break-the few pieces she has left. This isn't fiction-these are my real thoughts and choices, written as they happen. No made-up characters. No rewritten endings. Just moments, feelings, and choices that are mine. I did change all the names and publishments for privacy purposes. But it does not change or alter anything in the story, nor did their personalities change. All my feelings, choices and unsaid thoughts will be portrayed all through Rhea. As I am Rhea in my own story. I don't know how the story ends yet, but I hope you'll stay and see where my heart takes me. Reminder: English isn't my first language, but every word comes from the heart. 💓

Somewhere between the stations of memory and imagination, an old man finds what it truly means to reach your destination.

-This story is a work of fiction. Gawin was supposed to meet the boy he loved for their first real date. Instead, he ended up in a hospital room - staring at Joss lying unconscious, kept alive by machines and fading prayers. For nights he stayed by his bedside, whispering memories into the quiet, begging for a miracle that never came. Until Joss was taken away. No goodbye. No update. No trace. For eight years, Gawin waited. Wrote. Broke. Loved someone who never answered. Then one book signing, fate brings Joss back - alive, older, smiling... and remembering none of the boy who never stopped loving him. To Joss, Gawin is just a stranger with a pen. And beside him stands his fiancée. Now Gawin must face the truth: Some people return as strangers. Some love stories never get finished. And some memories are lost forever. A heartbreaking tale of devotion, disappearance, and the one love that didn't survive the silence. ❗️All characters and events in this story are entirely fictional.❗️ Happy reading! ☺️🤍✨

[ english poem ] and for my final act i will worship something mortal and will act suprised when it decays

A broken heart doesn't know how to stay silent. These letters were born from sleepless nights, heavy mornings, and afternoons where love kept hurting, even when it was already gone. This book is for the feelings we hid, the love we tried to protect, and the goodbye we still wish we could rewrite. Each letter is an attempt to heal, to remember without breaking... while a small but stubborn hope imagines that maybe destiny will find its way back again. "Letters for a Certain Someone" isn't about just one person... it's about all the people who once meant the universe to us, even if they never knew it.
