Born into faith, bound by expectation, and haunted by inherited shame, Echoes of Eve is a lyrical exploration of self-discovery, religious trauma, and the pursuit of freedom. Through poetry and prose, this collection traces the journey of a woman who dares to question the doctrines that shaped her, the family that bound her, and the God who both loved and condemned her. Weaving biblical imagery with deeply personal reflections, Echoes of Eve reclaims the story of Eve-not as a fallen woman, but as a seeker of truth, punished for her hunger for knowledge. From church pews and purity rings to stained-glass demons and whispered doubts, the narrator navigates the pain of breaking free from generational cycles of fear and control. Divided into five distinct parts, the book follows a transformative arc: Part 1: Born in the Garden - The early years, shaped by faith, fear, and the weight of inherited sin. This section explores the contradictions of religious teachings and the first seeds of doubt. Part 2: Plea of Innocence - A reckoning with the ways faith was weaponized, particularly through purity culture and the silencing of women. She begins to question the morality of a system that demands submission. Part 3: Hell's Burn - The breaking point. As she confronts the hypocrisy of religious institutions, she experiences the psychological and emotional toll of losing faith. Hell is no longer a distant threat-it is the world she's been living in. Part 4: An Apostate's Journey - Liberation comes at a cost. Cast out and labeled a betrayer, she grapples with grief, family estrangement, and the loneliness of forging her own path. Yet, in the ashes of her former beliefs, she begins to rebuild. Part 5: Leaving Eden - No longer burdened by the weight of shame, she steps fully into herself. The garden she once called home was never a paradise-it was a cage. In leaving Eden, she discovers that true freedom lies in embracing her own humanity. As she sheds the chains of doctrine, she finds power in her own voice, forging an identity not dictated by faith but by the unshaken, untamed spirit of her youth. This is a story of reckoning, resilience, and rebirth-a declaration that sometimes, salvation is not found in the hands of God, but in the act of reclaiming oneself. ? Echoes of Eve contains themes of religious trauma, sexual violence, and mental health struggles. Reader discretion advised.
