When I was sixteen, a twenty-two-year-old with a tenuous tether to reality began controlling me. For six years, I hid the truth from my family.
My Miami-based, coming-of-age debut is a lyrical, literary memoir about escaping psychological abuse, losing and reclaiming myself and my family, the devastation of silence, and the human desire to believe in the unseen. It is a narrative interrogation of the ways that race, class, gender, place, age, addiction, and intergenerational trauma contributed to my inability to see.
I will be seeking representation soon.
