Transforming brokenness into beauty is the essence of my story. My memoir is tentatively entitled, The Found Daughter: Pulling Together the Pieces of my Mosaic. I am currently seeking literary agent representation. My memoir is a “coming of age” tale which documents my journey in pulling together my broken pieces after losing my status as a daughter when I entered foster care at 13-years old. When it happened, my identity splintered into countless scattered pieces. Past abuse and chronic poverty had already suppressed every aspect of my identity. Becoming a ward of the state further smothered my voice into unseen corners of myself. I was subsequently placed in five different homes between 13 and 18-years old. It then felt as if my broken pieces were physically thrust across the entire city of Chicago, which forms the wondrous backdrop of this story.

​

This memoir does not end in the self-destructive spaces that were lurking around every corner. It instead pays graceful respect to the intricate mosaic of people and resources that made me feel like a daughter once again. Those pieces encompassed teachers, caseworkers, therapists, and even strangers who gave me life-saving resources when my only possessions were often the clothes on my back. However, the most important piece of my mosaic was myself, as gaining autonomy over my voice and my identity is one of the most integral themes in this story. My memoir ends when I was miraculously accepted into the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign upon realizing the full power of my mosaic.
