April Day Garcia is a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA/L), Reiki practitioner, entrepreneur, and author living on Long Island with her husband Rick and their daughter Bella.

As a first-time author navigating the self-publishing process, I misunderstood Amazon’s rules around KDP Select.

I really appreciate your interest and patience!(less)

What makes this memoir so compelling is its central metaphor: rooms as containers of memory. Bedrooms, hallways, kitchens, hospital rooms—each space becomes more than a backdrop; it becomes a silent witness to trauma, growth, and survival. The author" Read more of this review »
