Backroads and Backporches: The Road Back to Me - Hardcover

by Desiree Steele (Author)

What happens when life knocks you down-and you decide to tell the truth about it?

Backroads and Backporches: The Road Back to Me is a raw, reflective memoir about finding your way back to yourself after loss, trauma, and years of living in survival mode.

With warmth, humor, and unfiltered honesty, Desiree Steele shares stories about love, friendship, grief, healing, and the quiet moments that shape us. This isn't a story told in perfect order or with easy answers-it unfolds the way real healing does: slowly, honestly, and one moment at a time.

Blending memoir, poetry, and reflection, this book invites readers to pause, breathe, and recognize parts of their own story in the pages. It's for anyone who has carried pain, kept going anyway, and wondered if there was still a way back to themselves.

This is a quick but meaningful read-less like a traditional autobiography and more like a conversation on a back porch with someone who isn't afraid to be real. You may find yourself underlining lines, nodding along, and feeling a little less alone.
