Hi Friends!
So if you’ve been following along the past few months then you know… I wrote a book! A memoir to be exact, and I’m so pumped (and a little scared) because today I get to share the title and cover with you (eek!)
This book is from my soul. It’s pieces of my story that I’ve hidden away out of fear of judgment and shame-bound/trauma responses. After years of trying to process on my own, post-partum depression landed me in therapy and face to face with the parts of my story I deemed ugly.
In my journey towards healing I’ve learned that the stories we try to hide away are the exact ones we need to air out and deal with head on. As I say in chapter I:
“When we consciously let go of our pain, we make room for our purpose.”
My hope is that readers will resonate with at least one part of my story, and come out on the other side of their reading empowered to:
pursue their own mental health and
live fully in the light of who they are.
It’s my (slightly nerve wracking) honor to introduce my debut memoir title and cover to you:
Honeysuckle & Cigarettes: Confronting Family Secrets So My Daughter Doesn’t Have To
Shoutout to The Heckbers for capturing this perfect image for my cover! You can follow them on Instagram: TheHeckbers
You may be thinking “What the heck does Honeysuckle and Cigarettes have to do with anything?” It will make total sense when you read the book, promise ;)
So….What do you think of the cover? Hit the heart if you love it!
Looking Ahead:
H&C will release in March (That’s next month!) and the exact date will be revealed on March 1
I will be doing a fun giveaway on Instagram in the next few weeks, so keep an eye out (especially if you want an advance copy of my memoir!)
I appreciate you <3 Be kind to one another.
Love and Deep Breaths,
Sheyann
