Something like safe

"I didn't grow up safe. I grew up surviving."

In Something Like Safe, Elizabeth offers an unflinching look at what it means to grow up in a house where silence was louder than words, where fear became routine, and where childhood had to be traded for survival.

Told in vivid, piercing fragments, this memoir traces the journey of a girl who learned to stay quiet, stay small, stay out of the way-and the woman she became when she finally decided not to.

It's not just a story about trauma.
It's a story about love-the kind you give when no one shows you how.
About breaking cycles no one thought could be broken.
About building something safe for the first time, even if it's only something like safe.

Raw, reflective, and rooted in truth, Something Like Safe is for anyone who's ever had to grow up too soon, carry too much, or start over without a map.
