Thank you for loving these characters. They are all so near and dear to my heart… especially Shay. So much of this book I’ve taken from my own self and put into it. Moments from my own childhood and my own personal struggles. Please know you are not alone. Don’t let the darkness dictate how you live your life. It is YOURS! To quote Dawn Serra, “There is no timestamp on trauma. There isn’t a formula that you can insert yourself into to get from horror to healed. Be patient. Take up space. Let your journey be the balm.”
