Horror and psychological themes mix to create a harrowing fever dream of poetry and prose. Join Echo on the beautiful and terrifying journey into the healing process.

Echo takes a walk in the same woods every day, unaware of the whispers trying to reach her ears. A new path, or perhaps an old one, leads her deeper into the woods than she's ever dared venture. She struggles through the hauntingly familiar landscapes and seemingly endless trials of her mind, her heart, and her soul. She must find courage and self-compassion deep within herself to make her way through this nightmare and survive.

About the Author

LJ kept coming up against a wall, higher than she could see and wider than she could walk. It was impossible to scale. Then, her therapist suggested a writing prompt. And so, she wrote. She wrote about the wall, about getting through the wall, and even what lies beyond it. She's woven her experience of inner child work, finding direction, and challenging her perceptions about herself into each step of Echo's journey. The poetry and prose included in this book are an amalgamation of LJ and Echo's experiences.
