Essentially: Being Me in a Becoming World
()
About this ebook
An answer to these thought-provoking questions is at the heart of the intriguing memoir, Essentially: Being Me in a Becoming World. It emerged as a rebirth from the ashes of a near-tragedy and life-defining experience of a single mother as she breaks the barrier of stigma and silence.
In the book, the author craftily weaves her intensely personal journey and life-changing experiences as she grapples to find meaning and purpose in a trilogy of lives conflictedly interwoven in one destiny through first choices, second chances and everything in-between.
Through the lenses of her personal experiences, she explores themes such as susceptibility, fighting addiction, and aloneness.
The book is an open invitation to introspection, self-conversations and self-discovery through the turbulent storms and uncharted waters of the inevitability of change.
I've learnt that we can only find our authentic selves in vulnerability and only when we find ourselves can we truly find and empower others.
