  • Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck | Dreams, Loneliness & American Tragedy Book Summary & Discussion
    2025/07/22

    🌾 Two men. One dream. A world that won’t let them hold it.


    In Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck delivers a heartbreaking portrait of friendship and desperation during the Great Depression. George and Lennie—an unlikely pair of migrant workers—travel from ranch to ranch chasing a shared vision of owning land and living free. But in a world riddled with economic hardship and human cruelty, their bond is both their strength and their undoing. With sparse prose and devastating power, Steinbeck explores loneliness, dignity, and the fragile line between hope and despair.

  • In the Darkness of Shards by Catherine Anne Castillo | Healing from Trauma, One Poem at a Time
    2025/07/19

    🩸How do you heal from a love that shattered you?


    In the Darkness of Shards is a fiercely honest, emotionally raw collection of poetry by Catherine Anne Castillo that explores the brutal beauty of surviving emotional abuse and breaking free from trauma bonds.


    This isn’t just a book—it’s a mirror for those unraveling, a lifeline for those rebuilding.Written in the wake of a relationship that blurred love and harm, these poems illuminate the path from confusion to clarity, from silence to reclamation. Castillo doesn’t write from the distance of healing—she writes from the messy middle, the place so many are still trapped in. And through that, she offers truth, solidarity, and hope.
