Songs To Stories By Britt Wolfe
Ever listened to a song and thought, Wow, I need a 10,000-word emotional spiral about this? No? Just me? Cool. Songs To Stories is my completely unnecessary but entirely inevitable deep dive into what happens when lyrics aren’t enough and I have to make things everyone’s problem. These stories are inspired by songs that have ruined my life in the best possible way—tales of love, heartbreak, redemption, and people making really questionable decisions in the name of feelings. Think of it as fanfiction, but for the soundtrack of your worst emotional crises.
Each story takes the essence of a song—the vibe, the ache, the what if—and spins it into something new, something lived-in, something that makes you stare at the ceiling at 2 a.m. If you’ve ever screamed the bridge of a Taylor Swift song in your car and thought, There’s a novel in there somewhere, congratulations—you’re in the right place. And if you haven’t… well, maybe one of these stories will finally push you over the edge. You’re welcome.
New novellas drop on the 13th of every month, so consider this your official invitation to spiral with me on a monthly basis.

She was supposed to say yes. But saying no saved her life.
Cara always looked like the girl who had it all—brains, beauty, and the perfect boyfriend. But behind the sparkling façade was a life slowly shrinking to fit someone else’s idea of perfect. When Jasper drops to one knee at their university gala, surrounded by flashing cameras and champagne flutes, Cara is faced with a choice: keep living a life that’s slowly erasing her, or finally find the courage to walk away.
What follows is not a clean break but a long unraveling—of friendships, reputations, and everything Cara thought she knew about love. As whispers swirl and loyalty is tested, Cara must piece herself back together while the world watches and judges. Because choosing yourself doesn’t come with applause. It comes with silence, shame, and the quiet strength of a woman who knows her worth.
The Answer is a brave and beautifully wrought story about breaking free from the expectations that bind us, and the healing that begins the moment we finally choose ourselves.

In a world that didn’t want them to, they dared to fall in love.
Noah Calloway was never meant to fall for Matteo. Not on a Texas ranch soaked in privilege and silence. Not under a sky heavy with the weight of legacy and fear. But against all odds, their love bloomed—fierce, hidden, and all-consuming.
When a single moment of betrayal shatters everything, Matteo is forced to make an impossible choice: protect the boy he loves or stay and risk everything. As borders close and walls rise, the world around them threatens to erase what they shared. But love like theirs doesn’t vanish—it lingers in the heat of memory, in the hollow ache of what could have been, and in the breathless moments between guilt and hope.
Harder To Breathe is a devastatingly tender story of stolen moments, unspoken dreams, and the heartbreak of loving someone you can’t hold onto. For every reader who’s ever lived a love too big for the world, this is your story.

Some wounds aren’t loud. They’re quiet, invisible—and they don’t always heal.
Lina spent her entire life trying to earn the love of a father who only ever saw through her. Overshadowed by a golden older sister and dismissed at every turn, she was the quiet child, the good girl, the one who disappeared into the wallpaper of her own life. But being good was never enough. Not for Arlo. Not for Michelle. Not for a family who only loved conditionally—if at all.
Now an adult, Lina has built a life of her own—far from the Pennsylvania town that never saw her, far from the house where she was silenced. But when her father dies, the past comes clawing back. Old ghosts, unfinished grief, and family dysfunction swirl once more as Lina is forced to reckon with the truth: that healing doesn’t always come from reconciliation—it comes from release.
Good Without You is a powerful and unflinching story about the ache of being unloved, the strength it takes to walk away, and the quiet triumph of choosing yourself. For anyone who has ever had to heal without an apology, this is for you.

What do you do when the love of your life is slipping away—and there’s nothing you can do to stop it?
Eve was the kind of woman who held everyone together. A loving wife. A fiercely loyal best friend. A dreamer who once filled empty rooms with plans for a future that would never come. But now, faced with a diagnosis that steals more of her each day, Eve is caught in the ache of letting go—of her dreams, her body, her life.
As her husband, Sebastian, pulls away in grief, and her best friend, Maddy, clings tighter, Eve must navigate the quiet unraveling of everything she once was. Love becomes both anchor and agony. Time, both cruel and precious. And in the end, it isn’t about how long you stay, but how deeply you’re held when you go.
Fading From Forever is a breathtakingly tender story of love, friendship, and the courage it takes to face the inevitable. For anyone who has ever loved someone through the hardest goodbye, this is a tribute to the kind of love that never fades—even when the person does.

Some friendships never fade. Some goodbyes don’t mean the end.
For Maddy, New Year’s Eve was always magic—fireworks in the snow, candlelit laughter, and the steadfast presence of her best friend, Eve. But now, with Eve gone, the holiday she once loved feels hollow. That is, until a letter arrives. One final message from Eve, written in the knowing quiet of goodbye, filled with the kind of love that lingers long after breath is gone.
As Maddy reads the words only Eve could have written, she is transported through decades of friendship, memory, and all the small moments that made up a life shared. With her husband by her side and her sons’ laughter echoing down the hall, Maddy is reminded that grief and love are forever entwined—and that some people never really leave us. They live on in the snow, in the silence, and in the hand we still feel holding ours.
Holding On To The Memories is a tender, heart-aching celebration of friendship that endures beyond loss. For everyone who has ever loved a friend like family, this is a story that will stay with you long after the final page.

He thought he had forgotten her. Until her name reappeared in print—and brought it all rushing back.
When Walter Callahan reads the obituary of Margaret Dawson, the love he lost more than sixty years ago, the quiet rhythm of his days is shattered. Once a brilliant NASA engineer, now an old man surrounded by silence, Walter is swept back into the dazzling warmth of a love that shaped him—one that danced its way into his soul and never truly left.
Their story unfolds in the shadow of history, in the golden hours of a Texas autumn and the hushed heartbreak of November 22, 1963. As Walter revisits the places where he loved her, where he lost her, and where their lives forever changed, he is haunted by the memories of a girl with music in her fingers and forever in her eyes.
The Last Dance is a sweeping, poignant reflection on the kind of love that arrives only once, echoes through a lifetime, and still makes your heart ache decades later. For every reader who’s ever wondered what might have been, this is a story that reminds us: some dances are meant to be remembered.
Inspired By: Timeless (Taylor's Version) by Taylor Swift
They found each other across centuries. But this time, they remember.
She doesn’t know his name. But when their eyes meet across a crowded train station, time tilts—and something ancient stirs in her bones. A memory without shape. A love without beginning. A sense that she has loved him before.
And she has.
In a hidden garden in Tudor England. In the midst of war, soaked in smoke and sorrow. In stolen moments and impossible places, lifetime after lifetime, they find each other—only to lose each other again.
Echoes Of Us is a hauntingly romantic story of love that defies time, memory that lingers like breath on glass, and the aching beauty of finally finding your way back. For anyone who has ever believed in fate, in soulmates, in the magic of déjà vu—this one is for you.

She left home chasing a dream. She returns to find herself.

When she returns to her small hometown of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, for a quiet, unannounced visit, it isn’t for closure—it’s because she has nowhere left to run.
As Willa reconnects with her estranged father and the ghost of her first love, Tyler, she’s forced to confront the mess she made of her life and the person she’s become.
