Finding Yourself

From the Preface - I share my story not for sympathy, but for connection-for the person who feels alone in their pain, who is questioning their faith, who is searching for hope. Maybe you never had a role model to show you how to give and receive love. Maybe you've never felt worthy-constantly rejected by those who should have cared for you. Maybe you're ashamed of the choices you made just to survive in a world that's been unfair to you from a tender age, where you had to grow up faster than you should have, without a blueprint or a compass to guide your way. But even if all you've ever had is yourself-you are enough. To those who battle PTSD, anxiety, depression, or the weight of past trauma, I say this: You are not alone. Your past may whisper lies, but your future is waiting with open arms. Healing is possible. Freedom is possible.
Janice Hall is a memoirist, mother, and survivor who has transformed a life marked by trauma into a message of hope and healing. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Janice immigrated to the United States seeking a better life-but what followed was a journey through abandonment, betrayal, homelessness, postpartum depression, emotional abuse, and the long, silent battle with undiagnosed complex PTSD. For decades, she carried her pain quietly, raising three remarkable children who would grow into an ER nurse, a film industry professional, and a pre-med student. Despite the chaos around her, Janice never turned to addiction or institutions-instead, she leaned on faith, resilience, and an unshakable will to survive. Her memoir chronicles this lifelong journey: from the depths of despair to the breakthrough moments of spiritual clarity, therapeutic healing, and self-discovery. With unflinching honesty and a voice rooted in grace, Janice writes not just to tell her story-but to let others know they are not alone. With only a high school diploma, she currently serves as a Network IT field managing a team . She's very passionate about mentoring others overcoming trauma and reclaiming their lives. She's the voice for the voiceless, mentor to young single mothers, marriages, and an advocate for children teenagers and young adults . Finding Yourself is her debut memoir.
