Conjuring the Hurricane

About this book

When Sarah Hanson realized she had to leave her abusive relationship, she didn't have a plan. She had fear, instinct, and a body that had learned how to survive.Conjuring the Hurricane is a survival memoir-in-verse about leaving a life that's killing you and rebuilding a self you can finally live inside. Told in fragments that mirror the way trauma lives in the body, the book traces the nonlinear work of reclaiming identity, trust, and agency after abuse.This is a story of escape and aftermath, of learning to trust what the body knows, and of joy returning slowly, in unexpected forms. It is not a guide to the perfect exit, but a testament to the exit that saves you.For anyone who has ever wondered how she got here.For anyone who has ever whispered, how do I get out.This book is a permission slip to choose survival.
