  1. 1. Heart Berries

    A Memoir

    A raw, lyrical memoir that traces a woman’s struggle to reclaim her voice amid intergenerational trauma, mental illness, and the fraught realities of love, motherhood, and Indigenous identity. Through fragmented, intimate prose she recounts her painful childhood, abusive relationships, psychiatric hospitalization, and the ongoing work of healing while interrogating how history, colonization, and family shape selfhood. The narrative is both confessional and defiant, blending vulnerability and fierce intelligence to insist on the necessity of being seen and heard.
