Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

The last time we spoke, I told you about a book I was writing, but never the story. Because I’ve been sitting with this story longer than I expected, I want to make sure I did it right.
It didn’t start as a book I planned to release right away. The story is from an idea I had years ago, which I titled “Life in the Eyes of Michelle Lewis“. I had it tucked away until about a year ago, when I re-read the synopsis. Instantly, a question I thought would lead me to the full story was: what happens when the life you’re trying to escape keeps reaching out and pulling you back?
That question led to the final development of Michelle’s story. It ended up being about pressure. The kind that builds before anyone notices. It’s also about what happens when opportunity shows up, but it comes with strings tied to people who expect loyalty, silence, and sacrifice in return.
I didn’t want to write a story about easy heroines or clean choices. I wanted to write about that moment when you realize no one is coming to save you, and if they do, would you trust their intent? Ultimately, it makes you question that whatever happens next will be because of the decision you make.
If you’ve ever felt like your future was being negotiated without your consent, this story will probably feel uncomfortably familiar. It’s not a comfort read. It’s a mirror for many who grew up in environments described in the story.
As a friend and fan, I wanted to share it with you before it is officially released. If this sounds like the kind of story you’d want to spend time with, you can find it here:

Thanks for taking the time to read this, whether you pick up the book or not.
P.S. This is a coming-of-age story, but not the kind that promises things will work out. It promises honesty.
