What We Survive
Marcus Bennett's life shattered when he was outed in high school. Finally, he finds healing and builds a chosen family with his roommate and their friends.
Years later, Marcus has rebuilt his life. As he builds a future with Andrew, his friendship with James deepens into something unspoken, leaving Marcus torn between the life he's created and feelings he's afraid to acknowledge.
Then a piece of mail reveals a devastating truth. Marcus must confront demons he thought he'd escaped and decide: run away again—or fight back.
A story about trauma, healing, and learning that those who hurt us most can be the ones we never see coming.
