Tiny Heart Pieces
The Memoir
Tiny Heart Pieces is not a book about trauma in the usual sense.
It is a book about what happens when a child's buried truth finally rises through the body, the family, the legal system, and the symbolic languages that kept her alive long before she had words for what happened.
Tiny Heart Pieces
The Journey
“Woven through with original paintings and tarot, it chronicles the lifecycle of a secret, quickly becoming a visual map of a little girl's vast internal world: the warm, safe places she searched for inside a battlefield built to protect a secret instead of her.”
Tiny Heart Pieces
The Maps
and the inner compass amidst a lifetime of foreshocks
“For a long time, I had learned to speak in ways that could not be argued with: through a love of travel, film, music, scent, symbols, crystals, paintings, and tarot… the universal languages that allowed me to recognize myself without having to say anything plainly enough to be punished for it... The silent acknowledgement that I could still make meaning from what hurt.”

THE FAULT LINES
and the final quake that ended the world
“Before the buried truth had been mine to choose to share, I learned it had already been claimed, reframed and circulated in the workings of someone else, entirely. Everywhere I turned, something already existed that was adamant to diagnose, contain, redirect, misread, pathologize and distort the truth, all in the name of protecting those involved in protecting silence, instead of ever protecting me.
The truth did not set me free in my family system, and it did not restore belonging. It cost it.
Sometimes the child harmed becomes the person everyone is most comfortable losing.”

Beyond The Clouds
The Liminal Space
“After the storm and all the tragic loss in its wake, the aftershocks rippled in time on a long and dark road. I found myself in this liminal space where all that was left standing was the woman I am now. I didn’t know her.. I just knew she came to exist through this living, breathing map of her own survival."
Tiny Heart Pieces
One Step Forward
“This is the first written record of that unbecoming, discovering what my voice sounds like in the words of my own, unbound. It is the reckoning of the wonder that little girl had before the world got loud, written in the name of truth and finally unchained from the darkness of a tragic inherited past.”
