READ AN EXCERPT

This is a memoir on trauma and mental health but it’s also a memoir on healing. Healing is always possible, even in the darkest times.

In North of Broken, Alannah shares her raw, unfiltered journey as a sexual assault survivor navigating therapy, family, broken systems, and the slow work of reclaiming her body and voice. Through aerial dance, self-discovery, and eventually love, she reveals how healing is never linear but always possible.

This deeply personal memoir shines a light on the realities survivors face—shame, doubt, and a world that too often refuses to listen. Yet it also offers hope: proof that life after trauma can be rebuilt, and that speaking out matters not only for survivors themselves, but for everyone still searching for their voice.

Perfect for readers of:

  • Sexual assault survivor memoirs

  • Trauma and PTSD recovery stories

  • Women’s empowerment and resilience narratives

  • Inspiring true stories of healing

If you’ve ever felt broken by what happened to you—or love someone who has—this book is a reminder: you are not alone, and healing is possible.
