Book One of the Burnt Letters Trilogy
This isn’t a healing journey. This is a takedown.
You want to know the truth?
The hardest part wasn’t leaving the abuser.
It was admitting I was addicted to the pattern.
Burnt Letters is not a love story.
It’s a psychological excavation—of why we stay, how we fawn, and what happens when a woman finally realizes she’s been trained to mistake pain for devotion.
I didn’t fall into one toxic relationship.
I repeated them like clockwork.
Because the trauma wasn’t new.
It was inherited.
Because I was raised to endure.
As a trauma-informed nurse and domestic violence survivor, I was supposed to know better.
But I didn’t.
Not until I hit rock bottom—curled in the corner of a room with a gun pointed at my head, still wondering if I was the problem.
This is where I stopped performing.
Stopped praying for him to change.
Stopped writing letters to a man who never saw me.
And started burning every illusion I built in the name of survival.
What this book actually does:
Exposes the root of trauma-bonded relationships—and why we return, even after we escape
Names covert abuse tactics so insidious they look like love
Unmasks cultural conditioning that teaches women to stay silent, small, and self-sacrificing
Shares real tools: therapy, ritual, reparenting, nervous system repair, radical truth-telling
Ends the cycle—loudly, permanently, even if no one else claps for you
This book is not for people who want a neat narrative.
It’s for the woman who still hears his voice in her head.
The one who left, but still blames herself.
The one who never got an apology—and finally stopped needing one.
It’s for the daughter of chaos.
The former fixer.
The woman who’s done keeping secrets to keep the peace.
You don’t need a fairytale.
You need a torch.
This is it. Burnt Letters will show you how.
If you enjoyed What My Bones Know, Good Morning Monster, or Hello Flower, you will devour this book.
