illegitimate
Born of sin.
Raised in fear.
Silenced by guilt.
Reborn into words.
Illegitimate is an intimate, poetic, and brutal crossing undertaken by a woman breaking decades of silence to reclaim her right to exist.
Amidst abuse, faith, and resistance, Vivi stitches her story together in a work of autofiction that transforms wounds into strength, trauma into language, and pain into power.
The work guides the reader through a journey of self-discovery, spirituality, and liberation, where the body ceases to be a territory of guilt and becomes a temple of courage.
From fear to desire, from faith to doubt, illegitimate reveals what is most human: the capacity to begin again -even when all seems lost.
In chapters that blend poetic prose with confessional narrative, Vivi confronts the shadows of the past, revisits a childhood marked by violence and religious doctrine, and finds in exile - both physical and emotional - the space to be reborn as a woman, a mother, and an author.
