If you struggled with growing up as a ‘sensitive kid’ who was constantly told your feelings are invalid, felt like an outsider within your own family, had a difficult coming out, grew up with emotional immature parents, or lost a loved one as a child that made you feel safe, just know you were not alone. I share my journey in breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma and abuse to find clarity, understanding, and self love in the hopes that it will help others find that peace as well. THE HOUSE ON 9TH LINE: A MEMOIR OF GRIEF AND THE END OF A FAMILY is available wherever books are sold.
