Needing to write a memoir was one thing. But wanting to visit all the pain and shame and trauma, being naked and on display, and risking judgment and the possible disdain of readers—such wanting was hard to imagine.

To be quite honest, the writing of this entire book was a struggle. I opened up childhood wounds, and, in some cases, they were things I hadn’t shared in treatment or counseling. I began bleeding those stories onto the page. There were numerous triggers while writing the book and some nightmares reliving the abuse.

One of my favourite pieces of writing advice I ever heard was, ‘write the book you want to read,’ and that’s what I do. It’s one of the freedoms of being an independently published writer.

The book resonates with readers who like family stories, strong female protagonists, evocative settings, and a chance to learn some history they probably didn’t know.

The longer I was separated from my narcissistic family, the more I started seeing the world differently and realizing that the way I had been raised was not normal. Using the framework of urban fantasy, which I love, I wrote my main character coming to the same realizations I did and undergoing a similar transformation.

It took hundreds of hours of discussions and tweaking to create a believable setting and characters that fit their environment and culture.

About a year ago, I did an in-depth “target reader” study. I got very specific with it, and I have a good idea of who my ideal reader is. She owns a snuggy and loves scented candles—and probably stood in line at midnight to pick up a copy of the latest Harry Potter book when she was in high school. Her tastes have evolved, but she still loves books that awaken a sense of wonder and send her on an emotional rollercoaster. If that’s you, I think you’ll love my book.
