I Am Where It Ends is a supernatural literary novel about memory, inherited trauma, and the terrifying work of choosing not to pass pain forward.
Hannah has spent years surviving a life that looks functional from the outside and feels hollow from within. When buried childhood memories begin resurfacing, she becomes drawn to Astaroth, an ancient demon known for revealing hidden truths. What begins as a search for answers becomes something far more dangerous: a confrontation with the family history she was taught not to see.
Leaving Seattle for the lush Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, Hannah begins building a life that feels like her own. But healing does not mean forgetting, and truth does not become less true simply because the people who hurt her deny it.
As Hannah uncovers the roots of a generational curse, she is forced to face the question at the heart of everything she has survived:
What happens when the thing your family has carried for generations reaches you, and you decide it goes no further?

What the Smile Held is the story of the girl I used to be. the one who smiled through things no child should ever endure.
I wrote this memoir in fragments, just like my memory. Some of what happened to me I remember vividly. Some of it lives in the body more than in words. But all of it shaped the way I learned to survive: by being quiet, by being good, by staying small, and by smiling when I was anything but okay.
In these pages, I return to those early years. Not to relive the pain, but to reclaim the truth. This is a book about childhood trauma, yes, but also about the fierce instinct to protect others, the tiny joys that helped me endure, and the voice I kept trying to use even when no one believed me.
I’m telling this story for the kids like me. For the ones who were dismissed, disbelieved, or forgotten. For the ones who kept going, even when they didn’t know how.
This is what my smile held. And now, I’m ready to let it go.
