Description
Vivian's story is one of resilience and vulnerability. A dedicated lawyer who advocates for mentally ill patients, she appears to have it all together - but beneath the surface, Vivian struggles with the memories and after-effects of her troubled childhood. As she navigates the complexities of being a Black, Latinx woman living in a predominantly white society, Vivian's daily life becomes a constant struggle. She finds solace in self-medication, using coping mechanisms such as dating, dieting, dark humour, and smoking weed with her best friend Jane. However, after a family reunion prompts Vivian to take a bold step, she is left alone and must confront the trauma that has been holding her back. This debut novel offers a fresh perspective on survival narratives, featuring a complex heroine who is unapologetically alive. With its razor-sharp prose and hopeful undertones, Post-Traumatic is a powerful exploration of the aftermath of trauma.
