My Journey to Soul Resurrection

What makes a family—and how do you find your way back to yourself when the life you built begins to fall apart?

In My Journey to Soul Resurrection, an adopted daughter grows up believing that love, not blood, is what makes a family. Then adolescence, young motherhood, and the demands of adulthood test that belief. Told in a candid first-person voice, this novella follows a woman searching for belonging as family ties shift, grief accumulates, and the future she imagined grows uncertain.

Her path moves from the complications of her parents’ divorce and the turbulence of being a teenager to the responsibilities of raising children while still finding her own footing. Later, the death of her father and her daughter’s struggles with addiction deepen the losses she must face. Along the way, friendship, music, faith, and spiritual experiences offer connection—and new ways to understand what it means to begin again. Even a birthday rave becomes part of a larger search for joy and meaning amid upheaval.

Direct, personal, and at times irreverent, this is a story about the bonds that shape us and the resilience it takes to keep reaching for hope. Readers drawn to intimate family stories and hard-won spiritual reflection will find a journey that lingers beyond its final pages.
