Author’s Note:

Thank you for picking up Sasha's story. This work delves into the life of a young girl whose joyful world is turned upside down by a tragic event. While Sasha’s journey begins with warmth and innocence, she faces unexpected trauma that brings difficult emotions like grief, depression, and a struggle to find hope.

This story includes themes that may be triggering, such as violence, loss, and mental health challenges. I wanted to tell Sasha’s story to shed light on resilience and the impact that traumatic experiences can have on a young person’s life. I hope it will resonate with readers who have faced challenges of their own and remind them that healing and transformation are possible, even when life changes in ways we never expected.

If you're prepared to walk with Sasha through the ups and downs of her journey, I hope you'll find both the sorrow and strength in her story. Please take care of yourself as you read.
