My Own Altar: Built From Silence

My Own Altar-Built From Silence
by Karmic Rose,
Is an auto fiction which explores a life shaped by spiritual giftedness, trauma, and survival. The author recounts her upbringing in Cleveland, detailing her early ordination in the church and the subsequent sexual and spiritual abuse she endured at the hands of trusted figures. As she transitions into adulthood, the narrative follows her journey through motherhood and complicated relationships while she navigates the underworld of sex work as an observer and "runner." Throughout these trials, she maintains a deep connection to ancestral spirituality and personal intuition, eventually reclaiming her identity.
Ultimately, the work serves as a testament to breaking generational cycles and finding internal peace amidst a history of chaos.
