Explore the Healing Bonds Universe
The Universe titled Healing bonds consists of three different series of books. These series, Chains of Fate, Joe Town Bound, and Silken Bonds, all take place in different locations. Chains of Fate is located in St. Louis, Missouri, Joe Town Bound is in St. Joseph, Missouri, and Silken Bonds is in Santa Cruz, California.
The uniting factor of all these different books is that they all focus on healing through bondage. Each book centers around a character that is placed in extraordinary circumstances, and their partner or partners are the people that help them through it. Using the tools that bondage and submission has to offer, these people find their way through their trauma to healing.
There are no magic cures in this universe, as it is grounded in reality. There is no cure all and bondage and love do not make the bad times go away. These characters have to deal with learning to live again when the world seems at the grayest. The bonds they form with others, both romantic and platonic, are at the center of everything that happens in these books.

Healing Through Bondage
Bondage and other BDSM practice can be incredibly therapeutic for those that practice them. There are often intricate dynamics and rules associated with these particular ways of life, and for some people they find their true sense of freedom in bondage. The idea that some people do this just because it's fun is true, but for many, BDSM and bondage take on unique and thoughtful meanings in their lives that are hard to describe. Often these practices also bring peace and a quieting of rapid thoughts and the stresses of the world.
