Life was an endless series of train wrecks for Julia, with only brief moments of escape.

The Diary of A Curly-Haired Woman tells the story of Julia James, who endured a brutal, egregious childhood, teenhood, and young adulthood. She suffered homelessness, abandonment, and countless betrayals.

Through poetry and prose, she exposes the heartbreaking cycle of intergenerational trauma and shows the importance of breaking it, bringing hope to others who have endured the same, and showing how overcoming, forgiveness, and healing are possible, no matter how impossible it seems.

How will it turn out?
