Raised in chaos and violence, I carried my wounds into early motherhood, young, overwhelmed, and repeating the very patterns I swore I’d never pass on. I screamed. I hit. I walked away when they needed me most. And eventually, I gave up custody of the children I loved more than anything. This is not a redemption story with a neat bow. It’s a raw, unflinching memoir about what it takes to break generational cycles from the inside out. About failing -deeply- and still choosing to come back. About learning how to parent with intention after years of surviving on instinct.

Juliette left home for the stage, leaving behind her husband Eli and their daughter Aria. Two years later, she’s back, not as the star she imagined she’d be, but as a woman desperate to rebuild the family she broke. But forgiveness doesn’t come easy. Aria is older and guarded. Eli is stronger and no longer hers. And the life Juliette abandoned? It’s moved on without her.
