It all started with a simple sentence: ""I just want to write the words as I feel them bleeding from this old heart of mine."" To Mend a Broken Heart was a breakthrough narrative of inspirational writing, told from the eyes of the author. In it, such issues like abuse (domestic and sexual), surviving a narcissist, and restoration are unlocked. Sweet Savage, the follow-up narrative, deals directly with self-validation and what life in recovery feels like. By their own merit, each work has achieved success and extensive praise. Amended unites these two stories with extended sequences and additional storytelling.
