Some people are born into safety.She was born into fire.In From the Ashes I Rose From, Emery Blake delivers a raw, unflinching memoir about surviving what should have broken her-childhood neglect, sexual trauma, abusive relationships, toxic love, self-destruction, and the long, uneven journey toward choosing herself.From a little girl tracing cracks in a trailer wall to escape the screaming, to a teenager mistaking sex for love, to a young woman trapped in marriages where "husband" and "monster" were sometimes the same person-Emery's story reveals how trauma doesn't just wound you...it rewires you.But this memoir is not just about what hurt her.It's about what rebuilt her.As she claws her way out of cycles she was born into-trauma bonds, chaos addiction, survival-mode relationships-Emery finds the courage to walk away from the life that was killing her and step into one she never believed she deserved.Along the way, she becomes: - a woman learning to love without apologizing- a partner supporting a man fighting for his son- a stepmother finding healing through motherhood- a survivor reclaiming intimacy after violation- a student chasing multiple degrees- a leader of a new, chosen family- a woman rising, fully, unashamedThis is a memoir about what happens after the breaking-when you finally stop running back to the fire, and start rising out of it.Honest, visceral, and achingly human, From the Ashes I Rose From is a story for anyone who has ever loved wrong, trusted wrong, survived more than they should have, or feared they were too damaged to build a life worth living.This is not a story about becoming whole despite your past.It is a story about becoming whole because of it.Perfect for fans of The Glass Castle, Untamed, and Know My Name, this memoir proves one truth again and again: Even burned ground can bloom.
