Seventeen year old Genevieve “Gigi” Parker has lived a life steeped in trauma, betrayal, and survival. Forced into exploitation by her drug-addicted mother, Shanice, and subjected to repeated abuse from the predators invited into her home, Gigi’s only solace is her dream of a life far from the hell she’s known.

After finally fighting back in an act of desperate courage, Gigi is kicked out of her home and left to navigate the dangerous streets of Roseville, Alabama. What starts as a late night search for a safe place to rest turns into an unexpected twist of fate…an encounter with a young man named Echo, a charming but complicated stranger she meets during a corner store robbery.

Despite his own troubled past, Echo offers Gigi the one thing she’s never had: safety. As he opens his home and heart to her, Gigi begins to experience a new kind of love…one without conditions, without pain, and without secrets. But the past doesn’t let go easily. Gigi must battle through emotional scars, the fear of dependency, and the terrifying belief that she’s unworthy of kindness.

Together, Gigi and Echo learn what it means to heal…not just from the wounds life has dealt them, but from the ones they’ve inflicted on themselves. In a world that failed them both, they find light in each other. But can two broken souls truly build something whole?

To Love the Unhealed is a raw, gritty, and redemptive urban coming of age love story about trauma, survival, and the quiet power of genuine care. L.L. Momon delivers an unforgettable story of pain, healing, and the kind of love that doesn’t demand perfection, only truth.
