Rewritten: A Memoir of Transformation
Rewritten is a transformative guide for anyone who is learning to heal after heartbreak, rebuild their identity, and break the patterns that have held them back for years. Through poetry, vulnerable storytelling, and raw honesty, Emily Orta offers the truth so many of us time doesn’t heal you, you do.
In This Book, You’ll
The deeper patterns behind why you love the wrong people and how to end them.
How to rewrite the beliefs that have made you feel unworthy, too much, or never enough.
How to stop spiraling and guide yourself back to calm.
How to rebuild your identity after pain, loss, or betrayal.
How to heal through small, intentional choices instead of waiting to “feel ready.”
How to trust yourself again after being lied to, abandoned, or disappointed.
How to release any guilt for choosing yourself.
How to unlearn the versions of you that were built from survival.
How to find the courage to begin again, no matter how many times you’ve fallen apart.
How to transform loneliness into clarity and starting over into strength.
No matter what you’ve been through, what you had to let go of, or how many times life has wrecked you, you can still grow into someone stronger, softer, and more whole than before. Healing isn’t reserved for the lucky or the untouched, it’s for anyone willing to choose themselves again.
In this book, you’ll find the honesty, clarity, and gentle truth to rebuild yourself from the inside out. Written by someone who did just that.
Rewritten is not about pretending the past didn’t hurt. It’s about seeing your patterns clearly, letting go of the identity you created just to survive, and beginning again as the truer, fuller version of you.
This book was written to bring you back to yourself. To the strength, softness, and intuition you’ve always had even when life convinced you to forget it.

This made me cry a lot I’m not gonna lie, she really hit home with a lot of her words.
Felt like someone was reading my heart and just pouring it all out into a book.
Really recommend this book for any sort of healing whether that’s romantic, death, drama, friendships, military, problems with yourself, it’s all in here. Really love that it wasn’t about just one thing the whole time. Anyone can get something out of this.
Gave me a lot of clarity and confidence in decisions I’ve made already and need to be making now and in the future.

Everything I needed to read right now. I can hear Emily’s voice reading some of these. I sobbed and smiled. I’m so thankful for this book. It’s like she is in my head and feeling what I’m feeling. So good. So so so good. ❤️

This book was hard for me to put down. Emily’s story resonated with me and her poems hit certain aspects of my healing journey through divorce and starting over again. The words were honest and raw and I felt myself highlighting pieces that fit with my own growth.
The only section that seemed a little out of place was the proud to be an American section of the book. It didn’t seem to fit with the other chapters in the book. It wasn’t enough for me to take away a star on my review, because they were still well written and thoughtful.
There is a section on motherhood, and while I am not a mother, I could see my own mom and stepmom in the writing. This book truly covered all aspects of healing, growth, and love.

A book you can relate to on so many different levels is a book that will have you thinking about it for a long time. A video of this book came up on my FYP on TikTok and it sounded good. Then it kept popping up because once you like something it keeps coming back on. I decided to just go ahead and order it. I am not disappointed. I related to so much of this book it was kind of scary. I needed this many years ago up until now. Definitely a book that I would recommend to anyone in similar situations. Also to people to help them understand what someone in these situations go through and think of.

This book resonated with so much of what I’ve gone through/what I’m going through. There were some parts about being American that I couldn’t relate to but they were still beautifully written! This was my first poetry book and it certainly won’t be my last.

This book is one of those books that you only read a bit at a time to make it last. Each poem is a treasure. My heart is bursting and breaking and flying read it.

It had a few god-tier lines, but I could’ve done without the focus on God and kids, haha 🫣
