A memoir-in-verse that offers a tender, honest exploration of loss, resilience, and quiet triumph.

For anyone still becoming, even with tired feet and quiet dreams.

With lyrical and deep vulnerability, the author traces a path from the warmth of childhood to the heartbreak of losing her father, through survival jobs and silent struggles, to the unexpected discovery of purpose and belonging in an unfamiliar world.

They reflect on grief, healing, and the quiet strength it takes to move forward when everything feels broken.

For readers carrying quiet grief, wrestling with self-doubt, or seeking their own sense of becoming, these pages offer comfort, courage, and the reminder that even in stillness, we grow.

More than a story of survival, this is a heartfelt tribute to those who keep going, even when their dreams feel distant and their steps are heavy.

What began as mine may find a home in you, and in that, it becomes something we share.
