People I Grew Up With is a raw, reflective exploration of the relationships that shaped me-friends, family, and familiar faces who played roles in my life while hiding behind masks of love, loyalty, jealousy, and pretense. Through honest storytelling and emotional insight, the book peels back the layers of childhood bonds and shared histories to reveal the truth beneath the smiles, silence, and betrayal.
This is not a story of blame, but of awakening. It examines how environments, unspoken expectations, and unresolved pain influence who we become, and how recognizing the facade is the first step toward healing, growth, and authenticity. The Facade is for anyone who has ever outgrown the people they once called home and had to choose themselves in the process.
