Echoes from a Missing Generation

Some stories simmer below the surface for years before they find the courage—or the space—to be told.

Echoes from a Missing Generation is one of those stories.

This book was born from a quiet ache, the kind that hums in the background of generations. It’s about the unspoken things—the secrets families carry, the pain they bury, and the way those buried things shape the people we become, whether we realize it or not.

This is a journey through time, trauma, and healing as she begins to uncover the legacy of a grandfather who disappeared during a time when the United States was in a struggle with itself over our involvement in Vietnam.

It’s a novel about the long shadows of war, the resilience of women, and the hope that can rise even from the most broken places.

You won’t find perfect characters here. Just real people doing their best in a messy world—some making hard choices, others living in the wake of them. But I believe you’ll find yourself in these pages, too. Maybe in the questions. Maybe in the grief. Maybe in the unexpected grace that shows up when we least deserve it.

Writing this book stretched me. It required a deep dive into history, and an open heart. But it also reminded me that we’re never too far gone for redemption, never too broken for beauty to bloom.

Echoes from a Missing Generation releases August 8, 2025. Preorders are available now—and yes, they truly make a difference. If this story sounds like one that might speak to you or someone you love, I hope you’ll consider reserving a copy.

Some stories aren’t easy to tell.

But I believe this one matters.

Thanks for walking with me.
