Little and Lost (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798892217330)

Rosie's story bleeds into the pages of this realistic fiction novel, written from the perspective of a girl growing up in a world that never taught her how to stop and breathe. Drawn from journal entries, lost art, and thoughts shaped by an ego she's learning to face but not yet ready to love. Capturing the shameful and painful moments of adolescence, these pages carry the weight of joy, trauma, rebellion, exhaustion, and the slow unfolding of awakening. Rosie gets caught up in the trends of the times: pretending to like sex before understanding what she truly wants, smiling through burnout when her body is begging for rest, and following friends just to feel a little less alone in the world.

Rosie's story moves through broken systems and broken hearts, through body image battles, toxic love, and the noise of a world that never stops pulling at her spirit and draining the energy from her soul. As her journey deepens, she begins to question everything she has been taught to believe. She starts to examine her identity, her worth, and her purpose, and she slowly learns how to meet herself in the mess with an open heart.

This is a book for those who grew up too fast and healed too quietly. For those still finding their way back to themselves. It is a reminder that transformation is not a finish line. It is something we walk through with honesty, gentleness, and wonder. This is what it looks like to fall apart and come back together, one page at a time.

Welcome to the mess, love. Come as you are.
