Suicidal Birds: The Gift, 2019
Suicidal Birds: The Gift is a raw, coming-of-age memoir that captures the exact moment the psychological glass shatters and a lifetime of denial breaks open. Written from the urgent, unedited perspective of a nineteen-year-old inner child, the narrative builds a brilliant parallel mirror structure, alternating every other chapter between two deeply connected worlds. One narrative tracking line follows a single, intense night spent trying to find a safe haven for a stranger who tried to end her life by jumping in front of the author’s car. The alternating chapters plunge backward into the author’s own upbringing within an alcoholic family.

Road to Awe: The Alchemy of Venus to the Stars Within, 2025
Road to Awe: The Alchemy of Venus to the Stars Within is a profound, deeply moving memoir that charts an eleven-year odyssey of psychological integration, sobriety, and spiritual reclamation. Following a near-fatal, catastrophic assault in New York City, the narrative explores the patient, delicate architecture of trauma recovery and the long journey it took for the author’s mind to safely retrieve and process buried memories.
Written from the unique perspective of a writer who went on to train as a mental health counselor, the book maps the painstaking shift from childhood codependency and survival into absolute personal sovereignty. It stands as a rare, alchemical blueprint for anyone looking to heal the nervous system, break the cycle of toxic relationships, and transition from hyper-independence into true, healthy interdependence.

- Chantal5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and Inspiring Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase This novel of the human spirit will capture you from page one as you are brought on a journey of self reflection and self discovery by way of a random encounter with a lost soul in need of validation and connection. The author eloquently weaves in her own childhood story of abuse and trauma through extending her compassion and empathy to another human being mirroring elements of her own self in need of healing and growth. Definitely a page turner and a novel you won’t put down until the last page.
