Hello!
I'd like to share a bit more about the journey behind "Hope is a Gentle Flicker."
This book has a deeply personal origin. It started as a collection of diary entries back in 2021, during one of the most challenging periods of my life. I was trying to cope with the loss of my stepdaughters and felt completely lost, unsure of how to find a path forward or heal.
In those moments of pain, almost instinctively, I turned to writing. I bought a stack of diaries and began writing to them weekly. This became my way of processing the grief, and those diaries became my companions for years. It wasn't until the summer of 2024 that I finally wrote the last entry, closing that chapter of my life.
In 2023, I made the decision to transform my personal story into a book. My hope remains one: to reach out to others who might be experiencing similar struggles, to let them know they are not alone, and to connect with them through my words.
So, welcome! I've long been waiting for you and I'm glad you are here.
