This is a true story of a young girl stripped of her childhood innocence and forced into adulthood. Walk with me as I share the phases and stages of healing from neglect, physical and sexual abuse. The aftermath of trauma may be different for each individual but the damage to one’s spirit and soul remain the same. How can parents raise healthy children when they are not healthy themselves. Many of you will be able to relate and find the answer to this question and so many more within the stories I share from my journey. I experienced many revelations in writing my story. A change will come to you too by the time you turn the last page, as so it should.

Step into the shadows and see what they hold.

In Sheltered Shadows
Fifteen-year-old Erica thinks her life is over and dreads the changes ahead when her family is forced to move into a rundown inherited home after her parents lose their jobs. Little does she know, the flickering lights within it create shadows that will pull her in and forever scar their lives.

Perpetual Past
Clara has spent her life walking further away from her past and the horror that the villagers created.

The Manner of Solitude
Mort is a simple man. His house, his land, and his privacy are all he requires for a happy life. When people from the local town decide to bring some community cheer into what they see as a lonely old man, they learn that some people are better left alone.

The Sins of One
Cayley spent her life dealing with the dark shadows that lived in her grandfather’s mind. Shadows that may have been the cause of her mother’s death. It isn’t until he is on his deathbed that he confides in her what that terror is – and that it’s coming for her next.

Sometimes a story ends with the death of the main character. This one starts with the death of an average, and some may say boring, man named Francis Parker as he goes on a self-discovering journey from the beyond as he tries, with some unfamiliar help, to discover what happened to him. However, time is not on his side as he might be running out of it to figure out the answer if there was one.

Hazel Summer’s Story

Life had taken its toll on twenty-year-old Hazel Summer. Hazel wasn’t your average looking woman. She was a bbw who had a full figure eight shape body with voluptuous curves in all the right places. She was a young adult that had been through her share of trials and tribulations at an early age.

Giovanni Springer is a rich Billionaire who is drawn to pretty women and loves his fast cars. Even though he had Billions of dollars there was one thing he was missing. His one true love, a woman who he could call his own. Giovanni was born into money so he never knew what it was like to be broke or without.

One night Giovanni’s friends took him to this Ghetto strip club for his birthday. They wanted him to let loose and enjoy himself. The first time he lays eyes on Hazel his whole life changed. She is young, thick, with a pair of beautiful oval shaped brown eyes, and she had a positive aura like no other. She was nothing like all the classy and conservative women he had dated in his past. Hazel was the ratchet and freaky type who wasn’t afraid to tell him exactly what was on her mind. Which made it hard for Giovanni to resist her because no woman had dared to talk to him the way that Hazel did. He was always taught that women were supposed to be seen, not heard. Hazel wasn’t going for that and she had always been the type that danced to her own beat.

Will Giovanni see Hazel for who she truly is or will he let what his friends and family have to say about her make him miss out on a love of a lifetime?

Ayanna’s Story

Ayanna Jones is a beautiful woman with a butterscotch complexion, with a curvy figure eight shape. She was thicker than a snicker with a perfect glowing aura to match. However, I have heard people say the eyes never lie and Ayanna’s eyes didn’t just tell her story but it told a sad one.

She relocated to Georgia from Missouri running for her life literally. Even though she had to start from scratch, she was okay picking up the broken pieces of glass to create a cracked mirror of her life as she now knew it. Ayanna didn’t think she would ever fall in love again, and as a matter of fact, she was too afraid to.

One day Ayanna met Donovan. He was the sexiest man she had ever seen. He was tall, dark and handsome with arms that could give off a warm embrace which any woman would feel safe in. Safety is something foreign to Ayanna. Donovan Sterling was confident and charming and she was intrigued.

Donovan was smitten at first sight of Ayanna beauty, and he wanted to know more. Donovan will take her to heights of ecstasy where she had never been. Donovan had things he hadn’t revealed about himself, things like that he was a billionaire nor about Sabrina Arnaud, his beautiful sexy creole girlfriend. She was a stunning redbone with a body to die for big breasts, slim waist, and a big booty. She was a stone-cold freak in the bedroom but she was a conniving gold digger. He was hooked on the sex, this b*tch snatched souls however he wanted love.

Once he met Ayanna, Donovan will have Sabrina wondering how a two-day trip turned into two months. Not hearing one word from Donovan the whole two months; Sabrina just knew it was another woman in the picture and she wasn’t having that shit.

So let the games begin she started investigating and discovered J.R Ayanna’s abusive ex-boyfriend they linked up and devised a plan. J. R felt, if he couldn’t have Ayanna no one would. Now here comes the drama this story is filled with love, hope, new beginnings, jealousy, drama, passionate sex, and tragedy. Will Ayanna and Donovan find love or will they find themselves in danger?
