The Coming Down

by author Cayla Ross

Returning to “regular” life after trauma can be taxing. Ross knows this and lends her writing as a bridge to lift you up. That’s why her debut poetry collection, “The Coming Down” focuses on the hardest moments in trauma recovery and what it’s like to navigate them. Here, you’ll read about the days that seem to never come and the nights that seem to never end. Still, there is hope. Fully illustrated and crafted for you, Ross invites you into her most raw moments so you can hold her hand while she holds yours back. Take the leap and reach out. The Coming Down is waiting for you.

Whether you are recovering from an addiction, eating disorder, loss, or the overwhelming stress of life, there are authentic and healing moments to provide connection in a space that can often feel lonely. Ross isn't scared to dive deep and explore the parts of recovery that others seem to keep hidden. She offers her art and words as a way to share and rid the shame that is often attached to healing (and failing) proudly.

Let this illustrated poetry collection be a conversation starter with your inner self. It's time you get to know yourself a little better.
