Why I Wrote This Book

I wrote ‘Chains of Her Soul’ for anyone who has ever felt trapped by their past—for those who carry invisible burdens, and for survivors who need to know they are not alone. These poems were born in darkness—through trauma, addiction, loss, and survival. They are not just words; they are survival stories, healing rituals, and permission slips to feel everything.

What You’ll Find Inside

This collection is raw and unflinching. It charts my journey from bondage to breakthrough, from pretending to be fine to finally becoming whole. The poems honor the weight of childhood trauma, the grip of addiction, the devastation of loss, and the hard-won freedom that comes from choosing to heal. They do not gloss over pain—they sit with it, honor it, and show what’s possible on the other side.

Who This Book Is For:

• Trauma survivors who need to know they’re not alone

• Anyone in recovery looking for words that understand

• People navigating grief, loss, or life-altering pain

• Readers who want poetry that tells the truth—not just the pretty parts

• Anyone who’s ever felt trapped by their past and is ready to break free

My Hope for Readers

If you’ve ever carried chains you didn’t choose, I hope this collection reminds you: you have the power to break them. Healing is possible, even in the darkest places. My wish is that these poems offer comfort, validation, and hope—and that they inspire you to choose your own freedom, over and over again.
