📖 // debut DISTORTED IS THE VIEW out now! 🇿🇦🇫🇮🌍

✨EARLY PRAISE✨ I’m deeply grateful for these words ✨EARLY PRAISE✨ I’m deeply grateful for these words from K E Garland, author of In Search of a Salve: Memoir of a Sex Addict.

Her work has taught me a great deal about writing into family complexity and heavy themes with honesty, care, and courage. That makes her response to Distorted Is The View especially meaningful to me. 

@kegarland You’ve been there from the start, throughout the years, and until completion. Super grateful, always. 🙏🏾💜
