A memoir about being given away, choosing to stay, and discovering that love never once stopped looking for her.

For a long time, I carried a story I didn't know how to tell.

Some of it I carried in silence for years, not knowing where to begin, or whether it would still matter once I did. Some of it I carried the way most of us carry hard things, quietly, while still showing up, still smiling, still doing what needed to be done.

This is that story, finally set down.

The Girl Who Carried Stones is a memoir about discovery, about the weight we carry without naming it, and about the slow, unglamorous work of finally setting it down. It's for anyone who has ever worn a mask so well that even they forgot what was underneath it.

I'm honored to finally bring this into the world, and I'd love for you to be there when it arrives.
