Hello readers! I'm PureheartTheNeko, and I just wanted to leave a quick note here before you start! For those who are just seeing this right as it's published, it's also just a heads up on the next few days.

"Searching Without Shame" was originally one book, but this year (2017) I found that there was a good pause to just end the book. Since I was already overwhelmed that the story had not ended and it was being dragged on for too long, I decided to separate it into two books; "Secrets Without Shame" and "Searching Without Shame".

If the previous book seems to lack plot or has plot holes, it's because these two books were, at one point, all one book! The first four chapters were even published under "Secrets Without Shame"!

The story is all caught up, so this book is now being updated with new chapters. Now please move forward for now. I'm hoping to get an updating schedule up, so this is all until I get it figured out.

Reasoning: One character in particular goes through several unique journeys throughout "Searching Without Shame". I would say this song reminds me of what lays ahead of him (or her)]
