Fire Poppy
Fire Poppy is a powerful and evocative collection of poetry that chronicles the raw and emotional experiences of surviving and enduring sexual assault. Through each verse, Rachel intricately weaves together pain, survival, and eventual healing, offering a deeply personal yet universally relatable narrative. In this poignant work, the "fire" symbolizes both the destructive force of trauma and the regenerative power of resilience, while the "poppy" represents the delicate beauty of recovery that grows in the wake of devastation.
Writers Retreat
A secluded cabin.
A looming deadline.
A writer, her service dog, and a plan to finally finish the book that’s been clawing at her.
But peace doesn’t come easy when you’re carrying trauma—and you’re not as alone as you thought.
What starts as a quiet escape becomes a nightmare.
Now, trapped and hunted, she’ll have to survive what no one saw coming—and fight her way back, word by word, wound by wound.
