The Year I Became a Firework

The Year I Became a Firework is one woman’s tumultuous journey towards freedom from trauma, told through creativity, courage and the powerful connections forged along the way. 

Emotional, honest and deeply moving, this collaborative collection brings together art, music and poetry to explore healing, resilience and the strength found in unity. Katherine’s interwoven narration and reflections offer life lessons shaped by her own experiences, while the creative voices throughout the book remind us that no one has to face their story alone.

This is a stunning read for anyone seeking hope after hardship, or a reminder of the healing that can begin when we share, create and connect. It was made to reach the person who may need it most.
