Tamie S. Johnson’s “Behind the Mask” Will Be Displayed at the 2023 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books

The encouraging poetry book “Behind the Mask” by Tamie S. Johnson is all set to be displayed by self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books on April 22-23, 2023, at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA.

“Behind the Mask” is a book that talks about the reality that many people must eventually face if they are completely honest with themselves. The effects of social, emotional, and cultural conflicts can all be masked, whether traumatic or relational.

When bad things happen in life, people are often told to “man up” and “move on” before they can fully process their emotions about what happened. It’s normal for people to try to keep it together in the face of traumatic life events by withdrawing or displaying other signs of distress. It’s about looking inward and admitting the truth—that one is in pain and wants to make changes in their life, but one can’t do it alone.

Life is always unpredictable for people who need to figure out how to deal with it. According to author Tamie S. Johnson, problems that adults ignore either resurface later or are passed on to their children due to their efforts to cover them up or hide them from others.

The author wrote this book to be transparent and bear her soul for everyone to read. This book came to her one day while she looked at a program a pastor she knew would be speaking at. The picture of the mask spoke to Tamie about life and how people have become accustomed to hiding shame. Tamie prays that this book will encourage readers to be honest with themselves.

Get a copy of “Behind the Mask” by Tamie S. Johnson on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the ReadersMagnet Bookstore. Visit the ReadersMagnet exhibit at booth #225 at the 2023 Los Angeles Times Festivals of Books to check out the book’s display.
