After his parents' divorce, Frederick Douglas finds himself in a wholly unfamiliar part of the country. Gaining friends proves difficult in an area where people like he and his mother are very different from those around them.

When he sees his new neighbour, Mr Dibbs, he expects the old man to treat him as badly as everyone else, but Mr Dibbs proves that not everyone judges someone by what they look like.

As Frederick tries to come to terms with his new life, Mr Dibbs becomes his only friend, though the challenges of living in so different a place could prove too much for Frederick, his mother and Mr Dibbs.

cover by @JaelynnMoore 𝐆𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐥 It's so much easier to spread lies about people than it is to spread the truth. That's what Gabriel knows to be true, at least. According to everyone in his town, he's a monster. He doesn't deserve to be walking among the rest of them. That's far from the truth, though. He was never good at being alone, but it became something he was used to. After everything he'd gone through, he craved solitude. Until she showed up. She wiggled her way right into his heart and now all he craved was her. 𝐀𝐥𝐲𝐧𝐚 Moving to a small lakeside town in Washington was not where Alyna saw her life taking her. She also didn't expect that she'd fall so hard for the brooding mechanic who lived there. Everyone tells her that she should stay away from him. All of the rumors say that he's dangerous, but all she ever feels with him is safe. With obstacles at every turn, will their love be enough to endure even the worst challenge they'll face? Or will they fall apart under the weight? started: 12/15/2023 published: 05/18/2024 completed: highest rankings: #21 bwwm

Butchered Beasts 1: Darren & EJ by EJKnight90

Falling out of love with someone is one thing. Falling out because of a midlife crisis where you discover he's cheating and has been for months? Months that he's been lying about where and who he's with, and leaving you to be a married single mother. That's a whole different thing! And EJ is done. She packs up her kids and moves home. When sparks fly in the initial meeting of her and the contactor, they both feel it. Until others who want them for themselves try to pull them apart. Follow along on this journey of self-discovery, friendship, and love.

Settling Slowly by AbigailGranger

2015 rolled in with a bang, and it did not have the grace to gift me with a social life that everyone in a one hundred year radius would be jealous of or that is even just the talk of the town. Instead I got myself into a complicated relationship which wasn't much talked about, a relationship that I didn't get into is talked about all the time and university is around the figurative corner. That is where you can factor in people I suppose I should call 'fans', the fascination that comes in with cutlery, pots, pans and other formerly boring things. But let us not forget that my parents are finally getting married and Mum can't shop for lace without me wanting to kill her, add in a dose of sleepless nights, invigorating kisses - which have nothing to do with the sleepless nights and a lot to do with nightmares - Harriet not knowing the meaning of the words "you're done" and Ice Ice Baby is still a thing. We're all growing up (except Dad who will still make inappropriate jokes at every inappropriate moment, some to do with what cannot be done when you're wearing a plaster cast) and holidays are being planned though some are less holiday and more a mad dash to find somewhere to live out in the big wide world without our parents. Life might be moving on, but I still go to McDonald's late at night with my friends. Some things at least don't change. Sequel to: Falling Fast Complete

The Life You Love by emmaferrier

COMPLETE Elissa Fawkes is struggling - with school, with family, with life. Then one day, the infamous, popular boy from school starts talking to her.

She has to sort her own life out before getting caught up in whatever Alex has on his mind. She wants to turn to her best friend but it seems that Elissa's problems may be nowhere near what Amelia is struggling with. Can she help her friend while she helps herself find the life she loves? BEGAN: MARCH 2 2018 FINISHED: APRIL 6 2018 Featured on Wattpad's Contemporary Rising Page This is a first draft manuscript that I realised is no longer a piece I connect with. However, a lot of hours went into it and I feel it deserves a bit more than being hidden in my documents folder so here it is in all it's messy glory. I'm also sharing for my beta readers who have been patiently awaiting an update and were desperate to read the next chapter despite it not being anywhere near submission worthy. So, thank you guys for the support on this piece but for now, it's time to work on a different story... and a new genre! Stay tuned!

With the help of her new friends - who no one else seems to see - she's on a journey to find the happiness she lost long ago, even if it means facing her fears and making difficult sacrifices.

Still We Rise by izzybee2005

Whisky Throttle (Throttle Series, #1) by reannekennedy17

UNEDITED Calla Henrik's family runs the best ATV business in town, and she's ready to take over the family business for the summer while her parents go on a much-needed vacation. She's ready to earn some money before she attends the University of Alberta to become a conservation officer. Calla loves teaching kids how to ride dirtbikes, socializing with the regulars who visit the trail system for the day, and taking care of the campsite and trails. She's prepared for a relaxed summer, one where she spends all her time doing the one thing she loves. Maddox Kase wants nothing more than to get the hell out of his house. Being the son of one of the most infamous drug dealers in the BC Interior doesn't have its perks. From being abused by his father to being judged before he's even given a chance, Maddox is tired of dealing with people. All he wants is to get away from his home for the summer before he leaves for university. So when he sees an ad online about a job teaching kids how to ride dirtbikes, Maddox sends in his resumé immediately. What's better than nursing one of his passions (dirt biking) and getting away from his psychotic father? Calla has heard of Maddox Kase before, and although she knows it's impolite to judge people without getting to know them, she's a little skeptical of working with him. But as the summer goes on, both Calla and Maddox begin to realize that they have a lot more in common than they originally thought. And maybe something a lot bigger than a simple friendship...
