About Book: A Healing Memoir – The journey of a young girl going through emotional neglect, family issues, and broken hearts.

Come with me, as I take a deep dive into my childhood. This is my coming-of-age journey, struggling my way through life. Until I became a young woman. I share challenging events, such as physical and emotional abuse, and toxic relationships.

For a long time, I was clueless, living day by day with the sole purpose of hoping for a better future.

I was a loaded ship sailing in the open sea amidst many storms, yet without any safe port to unload. Despite it all, I managed to keep my head afloat.

In the end, I share real manipulative love stories as a warning to others, having them recognize the signs to get out in time.

If you’re familiar with my writing, you’ll know I love poetry. I’ve added some poems here and there whenever it felt necessary. I enjoy using poems to discuss sensitive subjects. They keep the wording light and let my creativity free.

I’m a thought instigator. I share my thoughts and insights to motivate you whenever you need them. I love to make people reflect on everything, help them find new perspectives, and learn new things.

Learn to let go of past struggles, embrace the present, and have a positive look toward the future.

Dedicated to fellow physical and emotional Trauma survivors.

No matter what you went through or are still going through, it doesn’t define who you are as a person today or who you will be tomorrow.

You have the power to change things, take back control over your life.

I understand some people are still reluctant to seek help, yet admitting you are struggling and can’t get through it alone is a sign of courage and strength. You’re already stronger than you think. If my book resonated with you, you’re welcome to follow me on social media and reach out if you need to discuss it with me. I’m here to help, as nobody should go through this alone.

My Thoughts: Unwanted Child by Chantal Agapiti is a healing memoir and true life story. A genre I read with trepidation, firstly because I am nervous about how I will feel and secondly, because I am in awe of people willing to lay their life bare for others to read and learn.

The book is interesting as I start to read through, although the book is in chapters, each chapter has sub heading and for a few of them I read. I thought this happened to me, but I didn’t take it in the context Agapiti had, but I guess as a whole the events amounted to the total feeling and who am I to say someone should feel the way they do

But as the book moves on my heart goes out to Agapiti, for what she has gone through and how she comes through everything. The writing is honest and raw and it felt as through it came from the heart.

In conclusion a book about emotional pain and trauma that is well written in a way that just says it as it is. The book is heart breaking at times but it is about survival and healing. A book to be read by anyone wondering of they are alone going through things that can have hope they will come out the other side.
