14 Writers - 14 Stories - 14 Truths

The stories contained within this anthology were almost never written. Each contributing author dug deep to discover the one thing they'd avoided writing about and made the brave decision to speak their truth. But they didn't stop there. Every essay in this collection also includes a companion piece, a "behind-the-scenes" look at what it took to move through the struggle, shame, self-doubt, fear, and more to put these words to the page.

Avoided No More reminds us that we all have stories buried within us, that there's power in sharing our truth, and, perhaps most importantly, that none of us are truly alone on this journey.
