Letters from Auren

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A Soft Story that Stayed" – Elliott V., Artist & Literary Sci-Fi Reader To the One I Left in Summer is a tender epistolary novel for anyone who's ever left quietly and wondered who they might've become if they'd stayed. Years after walking away from the one who once knew him best, Auren Solven discovers a sealed box of unsent letters-each addressed to the one he left behind. The words inside are raw, aching, and unfinished. As Auren reads through each letter, he's drawn back to the coastal town where their love first lived-and to a quiet reckoning he never allowed himself to feel. Told through lyrical, reflective prose, this story explores memory, identity, and the ways we carry the people we once loved. As Auren rewrites old letters, confronts unspoken truths, and imagines a reply that may never come, he begins to understand that some love stories aren't meant to be rekindled-they're meant to be remembered. From the author of The Mirror Archive, this is Book One in the Letters from Auren series-a deeply human exploration of love, grief, and the quiet power of writing the words we never said.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Every sentence felt like it was written in the quiet place I thought no one could reach." - Lena M., Poet & Educator What do you do with the words you never said aloud? In this deeply introspective and emotionally tender novel, The Words I Folded Away invites listeners into the mind of Auren Solven-a young man rediscovering himself through letters never meant to be sent. Set in the soft aftermath of heartbreak and silence, this audiobook unfolds through journal entries, fragments, and unsent confessions that map the quiet terrain between grief and healing. Told in a voice that is equal parts raw and poetic, Auren's journey is not about finding closure-it's about showing up. For the self he used to be. For the voice he once silenced. For the truths he's finally brave enough to say out loud. Whether you've known loss, questioned your place, or whispered truths into the void, The Words I Folded Away is a companion for the quiet hours-and for the listeners learning to begin again. Perfect for fans of introspective literary fiction, queer emotional realism, and epistolary narratives that unfold with grace, vulnerability, and gentle defiance. 🎧 Ideal for listeners who loved: On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke Call Me by Your Name by André Aciman Note: While this is Book 2 in the Letters from Auren series, each book can be enjoyed independently.
