The Girl I Lost (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781068872532)

Erika Storm brings her authentic voice as a writer and poet to the transformative experience of abuse and resulting severe PTSD. In this, her second collection of poetry, Erika explores her personal story and, more deeply, the connection of self-expression and the necessity of reclaiming one's narrative.

Erika believes in the power of words to express and connect, fostering empathy and community for readers and survivors alike. "The Girl I Lost" is an introspective look at her experiences, her path to beginning healing, and a journey of empathy for herself and others to find in these pages.

Her poems are vivid and raw, capturing moments that both changed her and are a force for her advocacy and openness so that others may find expressions of their own experiences. Knowing each of our stories is our own, but none of us are alone.
