Atlas of Scars
About this book
The Atlas of Scars is a memoir about withstanding generational trauma, death, grief, mental illness, and abuse; yet having the courage to love, the spirit to heal, and the boldness to wear wounds as a display of beauty.
Lyla Bennett's mom died when she was twelve. That loss broke Lyla's world apart in ways she could never imagine. Her step-father remarried and Lyla spent her teen and young adult years trying to cling to a family that had disappeared as her mother took her last breath. In her mid-forties, Lyla was diagnosed with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, experienced further trauma with the deaths of her brother and father, and made a shocking breakthrough during trauma therapy that made Lyla question everything she thought she knew about herself.
