The Awakening is a soul-baring journey across the 7 pivotal years that shaped the woman I am becoming-from the fragile hope of 14 to the raw becoming at 21. Told through a tapestry of letters, lyrical fragments, poetry, and prose, this book is a diary of love found and lost, heartbreaks that burned but taught, faith that faltered and flourished, and quiet moments that roared with meaning.
Each page carries the weight of late-night conversations, prayers whispered into pillows, truths I was too afraid to speak aloud, and memories borrowed from strangers whose stories I made my own. This is not just a book-it is a mirror for those navigating the in-betweens: of girlhood and womanhood, belief and doubt, pain and healing, letting go and holding on.
For the ones who loved deeply, broke silently, hoped endlessly, and rose every time they fell-The Awakening is for you. Within these pages, may your own spirit stir, your heart soften, and your soul awaken.
"She painted her soul with words and displayed the pain for all to observe."
Where a girl is learning how to love herself and the complicated life she lives.
