I read a fanfiction series recently that provided the exact perfect feels I love in a story. The description for the series is this:
“This series is meant to feel a warm hug after a long hard cry. It’s about realizing and coming to terms with pain, fear, and grief. It’s about healing in community. It’s about living with, and despite, trauma. It’s about the power of authenticity and honesty and and doing better. It’s about breaking cycles and creating peace. It’s about choice. It’s about healthy relationships. It’s about the I share parts of me in you and you share parts of you in me and we make each other better for it. It’s about true safety, true connection, and truly unconditional love, even when the best of humans are imperfect.”
So my question is, what sorts of books would you recommend that fit this beautiful description? Could be any genre, age of characters, platonic (the series itself was about found family) or romantic, doesn’t matter. But it’s got to include at least one person who is dealing with trauma (any type of abuse – even subtler ones like emotional abuse or neglect) and at least one person providing them with that unconditional love and healthy relationship and healing. Happy endings required!
Any suggestions?
