Through years of internal struggle, quiet resistance, and self-reflection, I began to peel back the layers of shame and fear that had kept me small.This book is for anyone who: - Grew up walking on eggshells- Struggles to find their voice after trauma- Wonders if healing is still possible- Knows healing is possible at any ageGripped is not just a memoir-it's a mirror for the silent, the unseen, and the still-hopeful.
