“Ahhh! this trio of books were so incredibly unique and powerful, I absolutely love the way the author turned her own story into something positive, a way to empower others who may have a traumatic past and a way to take control of their stories.

If you’re looking for something powerful, unique and uplifting- this is it!!“

“I knew, as I sobbed while reading the dedication that this review would require a level of vulnerability I had never shared before.

Spells for Surviving a Haunted Childhood is an eloquent and heart-wrenching love letter to the estimated 25 percent of children who will experience PTSD before the age of 18. It is for the children who could tell, simply by the weight of footsteps coming down the hallway, whether they should run. It is a love letter to her. It is a love letter to me.

With each chapter, the author pulls you into an experience, in my case, a memory, that chips away at the innocence of a child. Every chapter ends with a spell, not the kind that summons spirits, but the kind that restores a sense of control in the midst of the uncontrollable. If you are a parent, an educator, or anyone who works within the hearts of children, I urge you to read this book.

To those who will turn these pages and come face to face with a version of yourself you have fought tirelessly to protect: you are seen, and you are loved.

I don’t think my heart has ever been broken so beautifully. This book is a treasure. I wish I’d had a book like this during my own haunted childhood, but I hope your words will shine a light for all who need them as they face their own darkness. “

“Spells for Surviving a Haunted Childhood is a true story that stays with you long after you close the book. Each chapter includes a “spell,” and I absolutely loved that — not only does it guide the reader, but it also offers comfort and tools for healing.

This is a book so many people can relate to. I found myself connecting deeply with certain chapters, and more than once I wanted to reach into the pages and hug the author. She should have never had to experience the childhood she did, but the strength she shows in transforming her pain into something meaningful is incredible. Most people would have given up, but she didn’t let depression win.

What I appreciated most is that this isn’t a story about “getting over” trauma — it’s about learning to live with it without letting it define you. The memories woven through each chapter feel raw, honest, and necessary. This book is going to help someone who has lived through childhood trauma feel seen, understood, and less alone.“

“This is the kind of trilogy I can picture sitting on the shelf at Halloween but can be enjoyed anytime of the year!

The trilogy is an outlet about a girl navigating a life full of tragedies with moments of peace, where you question whether the darkness intertwined through the story is a friend or a foe.

Each chapter is laced with memories from the past and a way to work through those trials. You witness every kind of abuse, along with how you can overcome the trauma.”

-Justine Hobbs, The Book Nook

“Spells For Surviving A Haunted Childhood felt like more than just a story. It was something special, unique, and unlike anything I’ve ever read.

It is a fresh take on meditation and mental health.

Trauma is a hard thing to write about, even harder to make relatable. This story is relatable, vividly detailed, and harsh; much like real life.

But the magic lies in sharing. Sharing is how we heal. May this story help us heal.“

– Tammy widener, editor & poet

“Spells for Surviving A Haunted Childhood is a magical and unique take on self-help that offers therapeutic healing for both children and adults.

Each chapter introduces a specific emotional wound a child might encounter, and through vivid and age-appropriate storytelling, guides the reader through that trauma before ultimately ending the chapter with a “spell,” which I think is a brilliant and creative way to help the reader build resilience and self-awareness.

There is no chastising or dwelling on the past and what could have been, and this isn’t about ‘getting over’ trauma, but learning to live with it in a way that doesn’t define us. As an adult, I cried several times, but it was so cathartic, and I feel like these books are going to make a positive change in so many lives!”
