Escaping the Cage

This is my story.

It started as a series of journal entries and somehow evolved into a novel. This cautionary, coming-of-age tale is explicit, raw, and not for the faint of heart. Many times I've read it and felt it belonged to a different girl entirely. A close friend maybe, who trusted me with gritty details I somehow remembered vividly enough to tell.

But the reality is, it was my story. From rock bottom to reconquering my identity. A literal roadmap of my own healing journey. How I escaped the cage of fixation and broke free of the restrictive mindset that kept me trapped in an abusive relationship.

If you're anything like me, you've struggled with the steep teenager-to-adult learning curve, lost yourself in love, and may have even had to navigate your way out of a toxic partnership. This book shines a light on the reasons why we find ourselves in compromising situations and how to work our way out through self-reflection.
