How do you find yourself when your childhood was a storm you barely survived? Amaris never asked to be born into chaos. For the first six years of her life, trauma was her only constant-raised by a mother incapable of love and trapped in a home where tenderness was a foreign language. When she's finally removed from her mother's care, Amaris is thrust into a new world of rules, strangers, and the unfamiliar possibility of hope. But healing isn't linear, and freedom doesn't erase the past. Torn between the scars of her early years and the fragile future being offered to her, Amaris must decide: will she be defined by the pain that shaped her-or will she fight to become something more? A raw and heart-wrenching coming-of-age story about resilience, identity, and the power of breaking cycles. ------ Nonfiction spotlight for August 2018 #1 in Autobiography, my-life, true-story and Memoir / First place in the Chaos Awards/ Second place in the Golden awards 2k18/ Second place in the Royalty awards

For your consideration for the Wattys of 2017. Diagnosed with cancer at the young age of 25, I kept a journal through surgery and treatment, wrote humorous (or just uncomfortable) short stories and irreverent poems about my experiences. I'm not going to pretend that I have amazing words of wisdom about dealing with the deadly disease. This is a raw, unreserved look at dealing with some real shit in a funny way.
