BEYOND THE NOISE BY KC BARNES

Grace has never fit into the mold the world expected of her. Diagnosed with autism as a child, she’s spent her life navigating a world that often feels overwhelming, loud, and unkind. In her search for silence and control, she finds herself pulled into the dangerous grip of cocaine—an addiction that promises escape but delivers only chaos.

At a breaking point, Grace is faced with an impossible choice: continue down a path that could end her life, or fight for a future she’s not sure she deserves. Choosing hope, she checks into a rehabilitation center built on routine, compassion, and second chances. There, among strangers who become friends, she begins to rediscover who she is beneath the pain.

As Grace slowly rebuilds her life, she also begins to rebuild the trust of the people who love her most—her protective brother and her weary, hopeful parents. Through setbacks and small victories, she learns that healing isn't linear and that strength can come from the very parts of her that once felt like weakness.

Beyond the Noise is a raw and tender story of resilience, neurodivergence, addiction, and the power of choosing yourself—again and again.

Through the pages of change by
Kc barnes

Elle had always believed she was in control—of her life, her marriage, and her future. But when her seemingly perfect world begins to unravel, she’s forced to confront a reality she never saw coming. Divorced, grappling with a chronic illness, and raising two children on her own, Elle is at a crossroads. What comes next when everything you thought you knew about yourself is suddenly called into question?

In the midst of heartbreak and struggle, Elle discovers an unexpected source of healing: love, in a form she never anticipated. When Alex, a widower carrying his own baggage, enters her life, Elle must navigate the complexities of blending families, pursuing her dreams, and learning to lean on others when the weight of everything becomes too much to bear. But as her chronic illness flares, Elle is forced to reevaluate how much she can push herself, and whether she’s truly ready to let go of her old expectations in order to embrace a future that looks nothing like she imagined.
