Description
Vivian's story is one of resilience and vulnerability, a complex exploration of the human experience. After a traumatic past, she navigates the challenges of everyday life as a Black, Latinx woman in a predominantly white society. With a mix of humour, self-medication, and a strong support system, Vivian has learned to cope, but the memories of her childhood continue to haunt her. As she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, Vivian finds herself alone and without the safety net of her best friend, Jane. The aftermath of a family reunion prompts her to take a bold step, leading to a series of events that test her resolve and force her to confront the traumas of her past. A debut novel from Chantal V. Johnson, Post-Traumatic is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of survival, hope, and second chances.
