edit data

Tracie Breaux is an American author. Born in Louisiana to a father who raged against other men, she found herself a foot soldier in his bizarre world of jealousy. She spent her days walking and hoping for a way out of the oppression he forced on his family. She was fifteen when she ran away from home, and after her first taste of freedom, spent the next decade pushing herself forward.

Quotes by Tracie Breaux (?)

“The worlds in the books casually stripped the darkness from mine, layer by layer, until all I could see was hope. They sucked the thickness out of the air and ripped the gray right out of the clouds. Each day that my life felt heavier and oppressed, I picked up a book and crawled into the safety of its pages. I hoped that one day my life would be like all the lives in the books––fated for a happy ending.”
― Tracie Breaux, Refined

“I remember how abandoned I felt when my mom chose her husband over me. I remember my hurt and pain, the heart-stretched longing to have her stand up for me and say, “Don’t you dare lay another finger on my daughter again. Don’t you dare.”
― Tracie Breaux, Refined

“He's getting old. I don't count the years. I don't multiply by seven. They bred dogs for everything else, even diving for fish, why didn't they breed them to live longer, to live as long as a man?”
