(And Why I Wrote It in the First Place)
There’s power in stories. They connect us, challenge us, and make us feel seen. That’s why I wrote my memoir—to be a voice in the silence, to say the words some people can’t safely say themselves. It’s not a book about healing in the traditional sense; it’s a book about speaking out.
My story dives into the uncomfortable, the hidden, and the silenced—things society often tells us to keep quiet about. It’s a narrative for those who’ve lived through experiences that feel unspeakable, offering a quiet “me too” in solidarity.
But I didn’t write this book just for myself. I wrote it for those who are still unable to speak, for those who feel alone in their pain or their truth. My memoir is meant to shine a light in the darkness and say, “You’re not the only one and I’m here for you.”
Why I Make It Free
So often, stories like this are locked away behind paywalls or limited access. But what happens when someone desperately needs to feel understood and can’t afford to buy the book that might help them feel less alone?
That’s why, from time to time, I make my memoir free as an ebook and frequently carry a printed copy to give away when the timing is just right. I want my words to reach as many people as possible—not for fame or accolades, but to extend a lifeline. This is my way of opening the door to connection, courage, and community.
What the Book Is About
My memoir explores the complex layers of domestic violence, trauma, and survival, but it’s not a traditional survival tale. It’s a story about finding and using my voice in a world that often works to silence people like me.
This book doesn’t tie up every loose end or offer easy answers, but it speaks honestly about what it looked like to live through the unspeakable and still show up every day. It’s raw, real, and written for the people who feel like no one understands.
How You Can Help
