Author: Brayden Maggart

Release Date: October 10,
2015
Seventeen-year-old Analia struggles
with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder stemming from a long childhood of
abuse and trying to cope with her brother, Cloud's, suicide while
still continuing to manage life with a neglectful, addicted
mother.
Without guidance, Analia and her brother,
August, experience the hardships of adolescence and the joys of first
love as they learn life's hardest lessons. Together, they figure out
how it's possible that the world is both beautiful and ugly at the
same time as the two come to form a unit we know as life.
Brayden Maggart writes about the human
experience and aims to bring perspective to the literary world
through diverse and uncensored characters. Maggart does not stick to
one specific genre and uses writing as a way to talk about important
issues. Though her writing is dark, it's generally not the kind of
dark that includes mythological monsters but the kind that deals with
the real horrors that happen to ordinary people who don't deserve it
and explores healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms.
