This is a book about what we survive and what it takes to live afterward.
Woven from sharp threads of memory, The Body That Stayed is a raw, unflinching exploration of childhood trauma, addiction, domestic violence and the slow, uneven path to healing. Through poetic fragments I try my best to bare the ways a life can splinter and the quiet strength it takes to piece it back together.
This is not a redemption story with a bow on top. It's a survival story told in bruises, bottles, broken silence and the aching beauty of becoming more than what happened to me.
For anyone who has ever felt lost inside their own skin, this book bears witness. And it offers this: survival is sacred. So is your voice.Related Subjects
