Your Questions, Answered.

Is this book safe for someone in recovery?

These books speak honestly about trauma, emotional abuse, and healing. While they are written with care, some content may be difficult for those in early recovery. Please read gently and take breaks when needed.

Do I need to read the books in order?

No each book stands on its own and can be read individually. But many readers find the experience most powerful when read in this order:

Letters I'll Never Send is the starting point for many. It’s a raw, poetic memoir that traces the unraveling of an emotionally abusive relationship and the long, quiet road back to self. It helps readers name what happened and begin to feel less alone in their story.

Letters For Survivors is a gentle companion to follow. It’s not about the trauma it’s about what comes after. Through affirmations, reflections, and soft prose, it offers a place to land for anyone who’s still healing, still hurting, or still trying to believe their story.


Trauma & God is for those walking the spiritual aftermath. It explores the tension between sin, survival, and grace through confessional prose and psalm-like poetry. If you’ve ever wondered whether God could still want you after everything, this book sits in that silence with you and speaks.

Together, the books walk through pain, recovery, and redemption. But no matter where you begin, you’re not behind. You’re already in the middle of something sacred.

Is this available in digital or audiobook format?

Not yet. We currently offer only the print editions to preserve the intentional pacing and experience of the collection. Audio is in development.

Can I gift this to someone else?

Absolutely. These books are often purchased as gifts for loved ones. You can add a note at checkout we’ll include it with the package.

Where do the donations go?

10% of profits go directly to nonprofits supporting survivors of domestic violence funding therapy, legal aid, housing, and crisis response.
