Loving Lakyn Trigger Warnings

Loving Lakyn is COMING SOON

I promise this book isn’t as dark as it seems – Lakyn’s story is ultimately about hope and healing, and he does end up okay. But he did have a rough time of it for awhile, so there are parts of this book that I think deserve a little warning, for anyone who has struggled like he has. The first half of this is a short overview, the second half is a much more detailed, chapter by chapter, list. If I don’t list something that you find while reading, please let me know in the comments and I will add it. Lakyn would want you to take care of yourselves, so know your limits
