Publisher Description
Helen wanted to break the cycle.
Raised in the deserts of Southern California by a family plagued with addiction, poverty, and trauma, Helen's life was fraught with heartache and turmoil. Nevertheless, this fueled her desire to make it out. That was until one day, she broke.
When Helen wakes up in a mental hospital, her mind is shattered, her memories are gone, and she clings to the comfort of not remembering. But, when a memory of her daughter emerges, Helen has no choice but to unearth the painful truth and face her past.
Through dual timelines, readers will be immersed in the intricate tapestry of Helen's life, gradually unraveling the events that led to her broken state.
Untitled for Now captures the difficulty of breaking chains, the essence of mother/daughter relationships, grief, compassion, and finding forgiveness for yourself. It is a novel for those who revel in the lived experiences of others and want to know that even the saddest stories can have a happy ending.

Five stars isn’t enough
Beautifully written, Desiree is a treasure of an author with many stories to tell. I have never read through a book faster, the farther you get the more you are sucked in!
The book I needed ♥️
I started this book because the description was a glimpse into my life. I’m currently in therapy and reliving my childhood and this book… honestly I’m not sure how I came across it to be honest, but I knew I needed to read it. Without making this too long…I have hope I didn’t have before reading this. I feel like I’m not alone in this journey, although slightly different, but terrifyingly similar, I have a new strength to keep fighting forward and the rocks metaphor… chefs kiss…. I guess I just want to say thank you for making some of us feel less alone and more hopeful for the future ♥️
Amazing
Words can’t describe how great this book is. I found the woman who wrote it on Tik tok and from day 1 I was completely engulfed in this story. Beautifully written I spent hours reading chapter after chapter as it pulled on my heart strings. Would give this 100 stars if I could!
