In honour of my new book, released this week on Amazon Kindle, I’m sharing a collection of family photographs—captured moments in time that may or may not have been written into the storytelling within its pages.
What do we inherit besides our ancestry?
In The Scars Saudade Wrote, memory is not passive—it breathes, lingers, and leaves its mark.
This evocative anthology of creative nonfiction weaves together interconnected personal essays and narrative-driven stories that explore identity, migration, longing, and the invisible threads of inheritance. Through intimate storytelling and keen cultural observation, the collection examines how family history, geography, and community shape us in ways both tender and unrelenting.
Moving fluidly between childhood memories, inherited silences, and present-day realizations, these stories blend prose with grounded reflection. The work traces the emotional terrain of diaspora and belonging, attending to the quiet weight of generational damage, the ache of saudade, and the resilience forged through displacement and return. While each piece stands on its own, together they form a mosaic that reveals how personal history echoes across time, shaping identity long after the original wounds have closed.
