Buried, not Broken

A Memoir of Survival, Sisterhood, and Starting Over

“Buried, Not Broken” is a deeply personal narrative that explores the intricate themes of grief, addiction, healing, and the quiet strength we discover in life’s darkest moments.

Written in the wake of profound personal loss, this book serves as both a tribute to my beloved sister and a testament to the enduring light of faith, love, and resilience. Through poetic reflection and spiritual depth, “Buried, Not Broken,” aims to offer comfort to those who are brokenhearted, encouragement to the weary, and hope to anyone who is learning to live again after loss.

In the pages of this book, I recount my experiences during the tumultuous revolution in Romania in 1989, where my family lived near a military base that witnessed some of the most crucial events. Alongside these historical reflections, I also share my journey to America and the challenges I faced as I adapted to a new way of living.

However, this isn’t solely a story of sorrow; it is a sacred invitation to rise, to remember, and to believe that even in the silence, grace speaks. I hope that through my words, readers can find a sense of solace and strength during their own journeys.
