San Diego, CA – WEBWIRE –

As a man reading through her journey was enlightening. The poetry made me feel I want be better and brought back memories. The poems are heartfelt as she pours out her pain and disappointment. But I got the sense of her growth and strength throughout the book. In “Hypocrisy” the line “You cannot save others if you bury your own sins” speaks to the theme of her work. Men and women come get value from her words. – Nolan Holloway

ReadersMagnet is proud to showcase Growing Pains and The Awakening by Alyssa Michelle at the 2025 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books (LATFOB). The book event will be held on April 26-27, 2025, at the University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles, USA.

Growing Pains traces the emotional and spiritual evolution of a young woman facing the harsh realities of domestic violence, love, and loss. This collection reflects on the past, present, and future, capturing moments of vulnerability that ultimately lead to inner strength and invincibility, and is told through intimate, soul-baring poetry.

In The Awakening, Alyssa delves deeper into spiritual consciousness, reminding readers that the pain they endure can serve as a powerful catalyst for transformation. With lyrical grace, she invites others to reclaim their light and remember their true essence.
