You said it’s inspired by a real story, if you ever want to share it, I am here , I’d love to listen.

Such a beautiful story. It resonated with me—not exactly because of Sophie’s reason (I won’t give any spoilers in case someone hasn’t read it yet, ahah, so I’ll just refer to it like that)—but because of how our lives and our friends' lives are so intertwined, and then, due to life circumstances (pregnancy, a new partner, a new city, whatever), the unthinkable happens: that person becomes distant, and it feels like a piece of our soul is being ripped apart. Thank you for writing this story. Can’t wait to see what you write next!

OMG Raquel, thanks for this comment! I really want people to feel connected to the story in some way and experience all the emotions it brings. You made my day! xx

I read this awhile back, but saw it on Waqas's Note challenge. I recognized the shock over coffee almost immediately. I subb'd and restacked. :) This was fun

Such a realistic story. My next piece is about friendships as well. It’s hard to deal with someone who you thought was a good friend ghosts you and you don’t know why. I’m glad this ending is happier than mine!

Wow, this story is so beautifully written and emotional. The rawness of the friendship and the complexity of emotions between Alice and Sophie really hit me. Can't wait to read the next part! 😢💖

I really enjoyed your story, Ana. You write with such emotion that easily flows and nicely pushes the narrative along. I believe that the expectations that we put on ourselves and the expectations we have of others can cause distance. We fear telling our truths to others. It's easier to put up walls than open up for fear of getting hurt. I'm so sorry for the pain that you have experienced. I pray you can still have your happy ending, but even if it doesn't come, I believe you have finally been able to release what happened by writing this story. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing part of your story with all of us.

A very promising start for Ana Harrison with this true story about human emotions, the mistakes we make because of them, and the unbreakable power of true friendship.

It’s a beautiful story. I’ve been Sophie. In all my relationships I’ve been the one dying inside. We adopted our son when he was two. I have written a book about infertility. It’s called Hannah.

Ana Harrison's avatar

Thank you for sharing your story… it sounds incredibly powerful. I have been both. I’d love to read Hannah someday. Is it available on Amazon or another platform?

Melissa Allred's avatar

It’s available on Amazon or several other platforms if you prefer. It’s under Melissa Allred on Amazon. But if you google Hannah under M.Allred you’ll find it on ebooks and audiobooks platforms.
