There was a fan in the window.
It hummed loudly enough to blur the words, but not loudly enough to silence the truth.
The Fan in the Window is a memoir about inheritance—the patterns we grow up inside of, the things we normalize, and the moment we realize we can choose differently.
This book is about domestic violence, generational trauma, and the complicated work of interruption.
It is also about love, accountability, and becoming someone new.
