The Healing Kitchen
This is a powerful, layered story, and it sets the stage for a deeply emotional and transformative narrative. Framing the book as memoir-like-recounted from a fifty-year-old Molly looking back on a childhood full of small-scale violence, suppressed magic, and buried truths-gives the story both intimacy and weight.
The author is building something mythic and deeply human: the story of a woman who reclaims herself, piece by piece, memory by memory-and with that reclamation, rediscovers the gifts that were always there.
The novel is told from the point of view of Molly at age fifty, during a pivotal moment in her adult life-a spiritual emergency and a traumatic trigger-something that cracks open the shell around her long-suppressed psychic gifts.
She begins to remember. Not just the facts of her childhood, but the layers: the patterns of emotional abuse, the denial of her reality, the psychic impressions and visions she had as a girl, and the moments she was gaslit into silence.
Each chapter is a return-to an age, an incident, a person. The narrative slips between present-day Molly and her child self, a dual voice echoing across time.
