Extended Weekly Snippets From: MEMOIRS OF A FORGOTTEN CHILD

My first self-published book is centered around trauma. I got the inspiration for this book based on my life growing up in a Haitian single mother household, and yearning for an idealistic family that never came to fruition. I existed but didn't live. As a Forgotten Child, I survived a childhood full of hidden sadness, buried pain, and silenced hurt but through my adult journey in my short twenty-three years on this earth I learned that I wasn't alone carrying this secret of extreme trauma that produced negativities in my adolescent years like suicide, depression, recklessness, bipolar, etc. The more vulnerable I was with my story, the more I realized the commonalities between me and many survivors. Our common thread motivated me to share my story in this series so it can help others confront their past and tell THEIR story. Trauma may be the dirty little secret in Pandora's box, but I'm the seeker of PEACE with the KEY OF HEALING.
