About Monika

Growing up, I was a shy and introverted child. Books became my refuge, a place where I could escape from the trauma of losing my father and my struggles with low self-esteem. Through stories, I explored the world without ever leaving my bedroom—and in that exploration, I found my passion for writing.

As a young girl, I constantly created rhymes and poems in my head. I dreamed of being an author, but fear of rejection and ridicule held me back. Still, I kept writing—short stories, half-finished books, and poems I tucked away, afraid to share.

Years passed, and while raising a family, I fought to heal from past traumas and overcome the weight of depression and self-doubt. It was a long and difficult journey. Then, my world turned upside down when my youngest child began self-harming, acting out, running away, and spiraling into trouble. I felt completely alone and powerless.
