Making faces & A girl called Samson by Amy Harmon (both are standalone books)
Bring down the stars (beautiful hearts duet) by Emma Scott


"River is Waiting" by Wally Lamb
excellent, excellent read
didn't make me cry but clutched my heart numerous times trying not to tear up


I think this is my book. Content warnings cover pretty much all violence and abuse, but its got a message and a meaning behind the ache. Its not for everyone--having a hard time getting readers because its heavy and dark and makes you bare witness to shit we know happens but overall ignore. Its called Salt In the Spine. I self published it last month.
