My New Book
Fairy Tales for Hopeless Girls

FTHG - front only.jpg

I’m a hopeless girl
because hoping for change
and believing in fairy tales
didn’t change my fate.

Doing the ugly thing,
the hateful thing,
the wicked thing,
finally set me free.

 

Pre-Order Now!

Out Feb 26, 2026

"What if you spend the rest of your life 

chasing love, only to find her cowering

in the pit of your stomach?

​

What then?"

​Almost Loved follows an adoptee from foster care, as she searches for love and healing, while pushing back on the labels assigned to her.

​

Grappling with subjects of abuse, mental health, and deeply held grief this collection aims to answer: what does it truly mean to be loved in a world where you're seen as second best?​​​
