Shattered Innocence: A Journey from 12 and Pregnant to Resilience" is a heart-wrenching yet inspiring memoir of a young girl who faced unimaginable trials from an extraordinarily tender age. At 12, when childhood should be a time of playful innocence, she confronted the life-altering reality of pregnancy- a consequence of sustained abuse within her own family. This raw and poignant narrative dives deep into the darkest corners of her struggles, from the trauma of abuse by those trusted most to the challenges of young motherhood in a world that was quick to judge and slow to help.

But this story is more than a chronicle of victimhood; it's a testament to the indomitable strength of the human spirit. Throughout her journey, she grapples with the complex dynamics of a family torn between appearances and reality, the failings of a mother more concerned with reputation than child welfare, and the personal quest to break a cycle of abuse and neglect. Her resilience shines as she navigates the trials of teenage motherhood, the pursuit of education, and the healing power of writing, all while endeavoring to provide a better life for her child.

"Shattered Innocence" is not just an account of suffering and survival; it's a narrative of empowerment, a journey of transforming pain into purpose, and despair into hope. It's a compelling read for anyone who believes in the power of resilience and the possibility of a better tomorrow, even from the most broken of yesterdays.All Rights Reserved

The Catalyst (WIP) by JeanDunigan

This is not a redemption story. This is the unraveling of a mind built to survive, a life that refused to break until it did, and a woman who has never been just one thing. Told through fractured memories, relentless introspection, and the weight of choices that were never choices at all, this book explores the paradox of existence-what it means to offer without sacrifice, to be unbreakable by breaking, and to see the universe while knowing it will never truly see you back. A story about inevitability, identity, and the battle between Chaos and Order-within the world, within others, and most of all, within yourself. Trigger Warning: This book contains discussions of trauma, abuse, mental illness, suicidal ideation, and the brutal realities of existing in a world that demands you be something you are not. Read with care.
