A Journey from Scars to Strength

In this raw and unflinching autobiography, the author takes us on a profound journey through a life marked by unimaginable challenges. It's a story that begins in the arid Northeast of Brazil in 1983, a period of significant change for the country. The narrative traces a path from a childhood abruptly altered by the loss of her mother at the age of two , through a succession of painful experiences, including bullying, family violence, and a constant struggle for love and acceptance.

This is not just a tale of survival, but a powerful testament to the human spirit's resilience. The author recounts a difficult adolescence filled with exclusion and humiliation , which ultimately became the catalyst for an internal strength that propelled her to focus on a future of self-sufficiency. The adult phase, described as "the worst," brought even more intense trials, including workplace harassment and a horrifying physical assault attempt by a family member.

Through it all, an unwavering faith and resilience were her greatest allies. She shares her frustrations with a failing public security system and the disappointments she faced in the publishing industry, where she began her journey as a writer. Her story is a manifesto, a call to action against systems that fail the very people they are meant to protect.

This book is for anyone who has faced adversity and felt alone in their struggle. It's for those who have been gaslighted, manipulated, or had their free will undermined by narcissistic individuals. The author's courageous voice aims to inspire others to break the chains of oppression, both institutional and personal, and to find their own unexpected strength amidst the chaos. Her scars, once invisible thorns, now speak the truth, and her story promises to be a source of inspiration and wisdom for all who read it.
