Michalla Brianna is currently seeking literary representation for her memoir, Healing What Raised Me—a voice-driven coming-of-age narrative that traces a life shaped by instability, mental illness, and generational trauma, and the effort it takes to build a self within—and beyond—chaos.
Spanning childhood through adulthood, the memoir moves through a nomadic upbringing, family systems marked by addiction and psychosis, and the inner world of imagination, humor, and survival that made endurance possible. At its core, Healing What Raised Me explores resilience, identity formation, and the lifelong process of unmasking—learning how to remain true to self, meaning, and purpose amid uncertainty.
Written with lyric precision, emotional restraint, and raw honesty, the book blends vulnerability with wit, offering an unflinching yet deeply human portrait of how perception, choice, and self-awareness shape who we become. More than a personal story, it speaks to a universal truth: that healing is not about erasing the past, but reclaiming authorship of one’s life.
Healing What Raised Me will resonate with readers drawn to intimate, literary memoirs about resilience, self-reclamation, and the courage it takes to live authentically.
