“If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it,” said the incomparable Toni Morrison. Franz Kafka said that “A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.” Writing it chops the writer up, exposing what’s beneath.
And though I would never compare myself with these greats of literature, I can’t help but shout with joy. This is what I did: I wrote the book I needed to read. I found a way to make sense of my life through my stories.
I knew I would write my story back when I was still in high school. I also knew I could only do so after my mother died if I were going to be truly honest. The beauty of writing at this time in my life is that I’ve had time to process and grieve so much. I can now tell my story fairly and without resentment —but with compassion, forgiveness, and love. The rub is I’d give anything to share this book with my mother. I know she’s aware of it in her own way. But I’d love to see her face light up at the idea that I wrote a whole book —288 pages!— about our relationship. She’d be so proud—of the good, the bad, and even the ugly.
It took many years to put pen to paper. When I finally started writing I constantly doubted myself and had so many second thoughts.
One day I asked my therapist why I should tell my story. “Everyone has struggled in some way. What makes my story more important than anyone else’s?”
“If you remove the ‘more’ from your question, you will have your answer,” he said.
My story is no more important than anyone else’s, but it’s important nonetheless. And so here we are. And this is the cover. This is a surreal moment for me and one I hope you’ll share with me.
My book comes out in the US on May 2, 2023 and is now available for preorder. More about the book through the link in my bio. As I hear more about international editions and availability, I will post updates.

a (new) day well spent Amsterdam, Netherlands
A little book cover shoot bts and so much love for my people and crew who helped make this cover happen.
My beloved, my girl, my ride or die @maria.arringtons worked her ass off to style this shoot only to have zero clothes end up on the cover. Sorry love!
My love of my LIFE @fianakeleta was also there for moral support and to make sure I looked my best.
Best make up artist in the world who has been with me for the entirety of my career who is always there when I need him @kristoferbuckle.
@dinadipietro came through at the 11th hour because @marktownsend1 had covid and couldn’t be with us and she gave us the hair of my dreams! You’re stuck with me now lady.
@melaniedunea made this shoot so easy and so fun. Loved being lensed by such a sensitive supportive strong talented woman.
Thank you to even my little rock Freddy for being the best pup alive and everyone’s joy on set and pretty much everywhere you go.
And most of all thank you @csergiodesign for taking all our conversations and designing a book cover right out of my dreams.
Thank you all for being there with me on this most special day. And thank you IG friends for watching and being a part of this with me too. I love you!!
I recently listened to @mindfulmft on The Gray Area podcast and she asked: What did you want as a child and not get from your caregivers? The answer will give you a clue as to where you might get into trouble in an attempt to subconsciously heal that wound in your relationships, platonic or otherwise. Every relationship teaches you a little more about yourself. Maybe our most profound teachers.
This book resonates. If you’ve read or read my book in the future (link in bio for pre-order wink wink) it’ll make sense why it would.
Does it resonate with you?
Thank you for always taking such gentle loving care, @biologique_recherche_la
