Growing Pains

“Three young adults find themselves lost in the wilderness after feeling a strange, ethereal pull, with nothing to rely on but each other. They’ve all gone through a metamorphosis that’s harder to adjust to for some than others. But something calls, deep within the woods, and their hearts.“

Growing Pains is a novel wrung from the heart. It’s a story about growth, a story about going back home, a story about relying on other people. A journey of coming to terms with what you truly are, or truly want to be.

Please, refrain from leaving criticism if you can. This was written for personal reasons, but I decided to share it after the fact, so all its imperfections will remain as they are.

NOTE: the word "dehumanization" is used in the content warnings list, but it is done so incorrectly. This is a mistake. What should go there instead is "transformation" or "both temporary and permanent loss of human traits." (Which is a mouthful, but it's an important distinction.)
