Alive and Wells
by Hannah, Bailey
Alive and Wells is an intimate look at the friction between who we are expected to be and who we actually are when the dust of family expectations finally settles. It follows a protagonist navigating the jagged edges of a personal crisis, moving through a landscape of quiet grief and sudden, sharp realizations. The prose feels like a long, late-night conversation; it is deeply introspective and doesn't shy away from the ugliness of starting over or the exhaustion of trying to hold a crumbling life together. You will find the pacing deliberate, mirroring the slow, often uncomfortable process of self-discovery. This is a book for readers who prefer their emotional stakes high and their character arcs messy, especially if you appreciate stories where the path to healing is rarely linear or easy.
