I Once Wanted to Die Kindle Edition

This is not a chronicle of a downfall. It is the story of the aftermath. Barely sixteen, her life has long been slipping through her fingers. Trapped between domestic abuse, systemic silence, and the grip of addiction, she has learned to flee rather than fight. Eventually, she reaches a point of no return. The hospital. Therapy. Foreigners who begin to see the truth clearer than those she’s known for years. And James—the one constant who refused to leave, even as her own faith in herself withered away. This is an exploration of trauma, dependency, and the delicate art of reconstruction. It examines a broken system and the individuals who provide sanctuary. It is a study of the ties that hurt and the bonds that mend. Amidst legal battles and therapeutic breakthroughs, the protagonist must decide if she is ready to transition from mere survival to an actual life. A haunting psychological drama that lingers long after the final page. It is a story of pain that lingers. But also of the truth that even after the deepest darkness… return is possible. Read more
