Sinopsis

Olivia wakes up seeing an unfamiliar ceiling and lying in an unfamiliar bed. The last thing she remembers is celebrating her eighteenth-birthday and now she's wrapped up in a swaddle and sucking on a dummy. There must have been something that's happened in between, but she doesn't remember any of it. Then, an Alpha walks into the room and picks her up and she does the one thing she knows and starts crying.
 
~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~
 
"Are you hungry, baby? Poor baby. Daddy's sorry. Come on. Daddy's going to get you something to fill your hungry tummy."
 
He must be insane if he thinks she's going to eat anything he makes for her. For all she knows, he's going to take the opportunity to drug her and do all sorts of weird, kinky stuff to her. The thought makes her throat close up.
 
"Do you wanna fill your hungry tum-tum?"
 
She scowls at him. Is he sick in the head? Is that why he's talking like that? Her stomach betrays her by grumbling loudly and he chuckles and it's really unfair how good his voice is and how good that makes her feel.
 
"Alright, alright." He bounces her on his arm the entire way out of what appears to be a bedroom and towards the kitchen. She can't really see much, cradled so close to his chest like this and it feels really frightening because she's afraid he would drop her. She's glad to have use of her arms and legs back, but now it's a little bit awkward because she doesn't know where to put her hands. She rests it on his chest, thinking she would put a little space between them but she's also worried that she would accidentally push too hard and he would drop her.
 
She should have spent the time getting to know her surrounding and memorizing escape routes. Instead, she spends the entire time being stunned by what she's wearing when she puts her hand on his chest. Her palm is wrapped up in a pair of mittens that reminds of when she has to bake something in the orphanage, but it's a very badly designed one because she can't use her thumbs in this. Baby mittens, she thinks with a little frown.
 
She's wearing socks too, which explains why she's feeling so warm. She wriggles her toes a little bit. It feels so soft and comfortable. He's holding her in the nook of his arms like she's an infant, which is as humiliating as it is insulting. She's petite, not a child! With that in mind, she tries to struggle out of his grasp, but when she lurches forward, her head begins to spin a little. For a second, she panics, thinking she's going to fall straight out of his lap and headfirst towards the floor. This how she's going to die.
 
He pulls her up easily. "Oppsie-daisy," he says. "Alright there, baby?"
 
Her heart is beating out of control and she doesn't know why, but she begins to cry straight away, eyes welling up with tears and throat closing. She lets out a soft hiccup that turns quickly into a fresh wave of tears at how hopeless and helpless she feels already. And she's only been in this situation for less than an hour! She can't even struggle properly, giving in to him when he hoists her up all the way until her chin is resting on his shoulder. He rubs gentle, soothing circles on her back.
 
"It's alright, baby. Daddy's got you. Shh... Shh..." He bounces her a little as he keeps walking forward. "Don't cry, baby. Daddy's got you. It's alright. Daddy's not going to let you fall. Poor baby," he peppers her face with kisses. "Poor baby."
 
She's not crying. She's just a little surprised. She sniffles and hides her face in the nook of his neck.
 
"It's alright, baby," he says and she kind of hates how safe she feels with his arms around her like that, holding her so securely. "It's alright," he hums.

    I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and being stuck with a name like Whiskey was never easy, but none of that ever mattered much to me. Not until I met her. The kids used to call me white trash—WT for short, but I turned that nasty nickname into my fucking mantra after I joined the Air Force. My only regret was falling in with the wrong group of men. But, that's how I met her and I wouldn't trade what we had together for anything except maybe another chance. 
     
     
     
    He worked for my father and I was off-limits but no one told my heart that. He left me—left us on his last run to America and I know he's not coming back. If he did, they would kill him—kill us both. I know what I have to do now but it won't be easy. Whiskey deserves to know about his baby and I'll be the one delivering the news to him—one way or another. 
     
     
     
    Sometimes goodbye is more than just a second chance. Sometimes it becomes your entire future.

    Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born on September 24th 1896 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, to an upper-middle-class family. His early years in Buffalo, New York showed him to be a boy of high intelligence and drive with a thirst for literature.  
     
    In 1908, his father was fired from Procter & Gamble, and the family returned to Minnesota. Here Fitzgerald attended St. Paul Academy, in St. Paul, until 1911. At 13 he was published in the school newspaper, it was, of all things, a detective story. In 1911, aged 15, he was sent to the prestigious Newman School, in Hackensack, New Jersey. And, after graduating in 1913, he decided to continue at Princeton University. Here he firmly dedicated himself to writing. Unfortunately his writing pursuits came at the expense of his coursework. In 1917 he dropped out to join the U.S. Army.  
     
    However this service to his country came with the very real fear that he might perish in the trenches of Western Europe with his literary dreams not yet begun. So he spent the weeks before reporting for duty at work on a novel entitled The Romantic Egotist.  Fitzgerald was assigned to Camp Sheridan, in Alabama. It was there that Fitzgerald met the love of his life; Zelda Sayre, the "golden girl," of Montgomery youth society.  
     
    The war ended before Fitzgerald could be deployed, and he moved to New York City hoping to start a career in advertising that would be lucrative enough to convince Zelda to marry him. Unable to convince her that his means were enough to support her she broke off the engagement. Fitzgerald returned to his parents in St. Paul, to revise The Romantic Egoist, now recast as This Side of Paradise. His revised novel was accepted by Scribner's and published in 1920 becoming an instant success.  
     
    It launched Fitzgerald's career as a writer and provided a steady income suitable for Zelda's ambitions. The engagement resumed and they married at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York. Frances Scott "Scottie" Fitzgerald, their only child, was born on October 26, 1921. 
     
    Inspired by the parties he had attended visiting Long Island's north shore Fitzgerald began planning the greatest of his novels, The Great Gatsby, in 1923, wanting to produce "something new—something extraordinary and beautiful and simple and intricately patterned."  Published in April 1925, The Great Gatsby received mixed reviews and sold poorly; only 20,000 in its first year.  Today, it is considered a literary classic and one of a small circle vying for the title "Great American Novel".  
     
    Fitzgerald continued to supplement his income by writing short stories for magazines and to sell his stories and novels to Hollywood. He called this "whoring".  
     
    In February 1932, Zelda was hospitalized with schizophrenia. Fitzgerald rented a house nearby and worked on his latest book, Tender Is the Night, and finally published it in 1934.  
     
    Fitzgerald's heavy and excessive drinking had now developed into alcoholism and with recurring financial difficulties, the emotional toll of Zelda's mental illness, this meant several difficult years.  
     
    In 1937, Fitzgerald moved to Hollywood. His income improved and he began to work in the film industry. He found movies beneath his talents, but was once again in perilous financial straits, and so spent the second half of the 1930s in Hollywood, working on a triangle of short stories, scripts for MGM, and his final novel, The Love of the Last Tycoon.   
     
    In 1939, MGM ended the contract, and Fitzgerald became a writer for hire. Still an alcoholic, he now became estranged from Zelda and developed a relationship with Sheilah Graham, the Hollywood gossip columnist. They quickly became lovers.  
     
    In this last period of his life his alcoholism had left him physically wrecked. After suffering a heart attack, in Schwab's Drug Store, he was ordered to avoi

    An American literary take on the Nordic noir genre 
     
     
     
    Unfolding during the moody Pacific Northwest winter of 1951, we follow Bernadette Baston, scholar of child development and language acquisition, as she travels to a penitentiary on the remote island Elita in the Puget Sound to consult on a curious case: two guards have discovered an animal-like adolescent girl living alone in the cold woods beyond the prison's walls. There are few answers, but many people who know more than they are saying. According to official reports, the girl, dubbed Atalanta, does not speak. Is her silence protecting someone? The prison warden, court-appointed guardian, and police detective embroil Bernadette in resolving a secret that the tight-knit island community has long held, and her investment in the girl's case soon becomes more personal than professional. As a mother, wife, and woman bound by mid-twentieth-century expectations, Bernadette strategizes to retain the fragile control she has over her own freedom, identity, and future, which becomes inextricably tied to solving Atalanta's case.
