I have a New Book coming out soon: Turning Survival into Words, From Houses of Fear to Freedom.

  

Turning Survival into Words: From Houses of Fear to Freedom is a deeply personal memoir about surviving domestic abuse and reclaiming a life piece by piece.

Structured around the houses the author lived in, each chapter marks a different stage of fear, endurance, and transformation. These were not just places to live, but environments that shaped how safety, love, and self-worth were understood—or denied. With clarity and care, the author recounts the realities of living under coercive control, raising children with limited resources, and navigating institutions that often overlook those most in need.

This is not a story written to shock, but to tell the truth. The details are vivid without being gratuitous, offering readers an honest understanding of how abuse embeds itself into daily life—and how its effects can linger long after escape.

The final chapters turn toward healing, showing what it means to rebuild after prolonged trauma and to live with both resilience and vulnerability. This memoir is for survivors, for those who love them, and for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of what survival really looks like.

A Memoir of one aspect of my life

This is one part of my life that I share to help other people who have experienced domestic violence

  Told through the homes the author lived in, this book traces a life shaped by domestic abuse, poverty, and the long shadow of fear—and the slow, determined journey out of it. With honesty and restraint, the story bears witness to what it means to survive not just the harm itself, but the aftermath: raising children under pressure, navigating systems that fail the vulnerable, and learning how to live when danger is no longer present.

Written from the scar rather than the wound, this memoir offers recognition, compassion, and hope to anyone who has lived through violence and is still finding their way toward freedom.
