Dear Renisha: Turning Trauma Into Triumph
Dear Renisha is filled with the trauma that comes from the betrayal of those who promised to protect and love. It stands proudly among other survivor stories and reminds us why torture will never be treatment.

Thrown into a agonizing existence by the family who adopted her, Sabrina Young recounts 17 years of abuse, torture and mistreatment full of racial slurs and bias because of the color of her skin and her defiance towards the rules of the church they followed. Brazen, brave and strong, Dear Renisha recounts Sabrina's experience within the troubled teen industry through her letters to her sister and her magnificent drawings. Sabrina's thoughts and imagery capture her dignity and beauty against the backdrop of betrayal within the family and church.Complete

The Weight Of Expectations
In this raw and unflinching memoir, I share my deeply personal struggle to find acceptance and belonging in a society that often seeks to marginalize and shame those who don't fit the mold. With unapologetic honesty, I recount my experiences growing up fat in a thin-obsessed world, navigating the complexities of body image, self-worth, and identity. From the painful sting of bullying and fat-shaming to the liberating power of self-love and acceptance, I take readers on a journey of resilience, self-discovery, and ultimately, triumph. With humor, vulnerability, and fierce determination, I challenge societal norms and confront the harsh realities of living in a body that doesn't conform. This memoir is my story of finding my voice, claiming my space, and learning to love myself in a world that doesn't always love me back. I share my struggles, my fears, and my moments of triumph, in the hopes that my story will inspire others to do the same. *I hold no rights over the Cover*Complete
