Spells for Surviving a Haunted Childhood: Part One - Paperback

by Barbara Latinka (Created by)

Spells for Surviving a Haunted Childhood is a powerful, poetic memoir series about what it means to grow up in the shadow of trauma-and how to reclaim your story through resilience, imagination, and self-healing. In this lyrical coming-of-age story, a neglected girl grows up in a world of emotional abuse, abandonment, and silence. Through magical realism and creative rituals, she begins to transform her pain into power. This book is the first in a three-part memoir series about healing the inner child and surviving the darkness.

This grimoire-style narrative blends creative nonfiction, emotional spells, and magical realism to explore life as an abused child navigating abandonment, generational pain - and so much more. This series is for anyone who has ever felt invisible, unworthy, or unlovable-and who still dares to believe in the possibility of light.

Perfect for readers of The Body Keeps the Score, Heavy, Know My Name, and The Year of Magical Thinking-as well as fans of poetic memoirs, self-help for trauma recovery, and inner child work.
