Please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery of a signed copy.

Have you read a book that mentions a diary or journal and wondered what it looked like?

I have pondered this myself.

Step inside the mind of a fourteen-year-old girl, Amaris Winters, who harbors an awful secret, too overwhelming for anyone to keep.

Horrid, unmentionable things happen in the house where Amaris lives with her mother and step-father.

All she wants is some peace in her life, and the way she creates it for herself is through her art.

Inside her notebook are cutesy animals to the grim reaper himself for you to color.

(Did I mention the reaper is exquisitely handsome in his human form? With his buff build, biceps that strain against the fabric of his shirt, and intriguing tattoos that cover his arms and neck. All the girls are drooling over him. But he has eyes for Amaris. You can read their story, Surviving Amaris Phases Book One releasing 2025.)

Her art creates a place of Zen using chromotherapy, or color therapy. Certain colors help evoke different emotions, which could lead us to a sense of happiness.

Maria and Floyd, her mother and step-father, enjoy searching her things to find anything they can to “punish” Amaris.

She has hidden her journal in the middle of her notebook for spying eyes. At first, while flipping through it, you may miss some of the tough questions you may see in Shadow Work therapy.These inquiries help you become besties with your shadow self. Your dark side. The side you hide from everyone, including yourself.

When you decide to find the answers to your internal enigmas, you fall in love with yourself; also the parts you wish you could forget. You realize that anything that happened to you was not your fault. 

No need for excuses or shame anymore. They both can be exhausting to live with them daily.

It shaped you.

It shaped you to be amazing and who you are now. And you need to realize that in order to heal from your trauma. Amaris clutches onto her shadow self for years. Don’t hold onto it like she does. It isn't good for your soul or health.

Cali and I are not mental health professionals. We are two people that have dealt with our shadow selves and are learning to embrace our obscurities. 

Cali is a witch striving to hone lives. 

Mags, a strong woman, has faced many challenges in life which lead her to creating Amaris. 

Together, they are whole; they support each other and learn as they grow.

The yin and yang are significant to their friendship and collaboration. You must have light and dark, love and hate, death and life. 

They are the light and shadow.
