What if the love you craved became the fire that almost destroyed you?
Burnt Letters
Burnt Letters is a searing, poetic memoir from Christina—a woman who thought she was stepping into a fresh start, only to find herself ensnared in a toxic web of love-bombing, manipulation, and emotional abuse at the hands of Frank, a man whose charm masked a darker truth.
Told through haunting unsent letters and fragmented memories, this raw narrative exposes the invisible wounds left by childhood trauma and the suffocating grip of toxic love. It’s a journey through whispered doubts, shattered illusions, and the relentless fight to reclaim a silenced voice.
Christina’s story unflinchingly reveals the devastating power of gaslighting and shame to erode identity—and the fierce, messy, unyielding process of rising from the ashes. Along the way, trusted friends and a relentless therapist light the path toward self-discovery and healing, while the inner child once buried beneath layers of pain slowly finds her way back to life.
Burnt Letters isn’t about neat endings or quick fixes. It’s battlefield poetry for anyone who has ever felt invisible, broken, or trapped—and for those ready to claim their power and rewrite their story.
If you’ve ever whispered, “Why didn’t she just leave?”—this book offers no excuses. It offers a mirror. A reckoning. A hand reaching out from the dark, inviting you to feel the fire—and rise.
Because some stories aren’t just told—they burn.
Perfect for survivors of emotional abuse, trauma-informed clinicians, and anyone ready to face the raw, unfiltered truth about love, loss, and healing.

Testimonials
Originally, the title and cover creation of Burnt Letters pulled me into the memoir. My interest increased while reading as the author guides readers beautifully into her story, opening the door to vulnerability in a way I could feel close to her as I connected the dots of trauma in my own life to episodes in hers...
Burnt Letters, a concept of facing the mirror to heal, of voicing our pain then letting it go, all while watching flames melt the past and turn it into ash that we can toss in the wind while wishing it a sweet farewell. No matter the pain, our life journey is ours for the duration.
Looking forward to the next book!
Having ridden the cusp of death and not felt fear but wonder at how I arrived there, Christina has told her story but if felt as though it were my own. Real tears poured down my face as memories surfaced breaking my heart open to continue down my own path of healing. Layered and complex emotions were brought forth in a way that helps others understand. Thank you for shining your light Christina - the voice you’ve given to so many others is a true gift!
This book split me wide open.
In her past, I saw echoes of my own—an aching yearning to shed the weight of old wounds, to release the grip of trauma and rise into a version of myself that knows peace.
I’m still emerging from the wreckage of my latest storm, but the mirrored threads of our journeys—and the quiet promise that healing is possible—wrap around me like a whisper of hope.
WOW!!
Reading Burnt Letters felt like sitting with a friend who speaks the truths you didn’t know you needed to hear. The words are raw, tender, and deeply human, carrying both sorrow and hope. I found myself pausing often, letting certain lines sink in, because they touched places I rarely put into words. This book doesn’t just tell a story—it invites you to feel, to reflect, and to heal. It’s a gift I’ll return to again. I cant wait for the next book!
Well done Christina🧡
