Silence of My Inceptive Self - Paperback

Read to journey through a first life, processed in internal silence through writings of fiction and creative non-fiction, of poetry, prose, and narrative essay, to process, to connect, to be inventive, to grow, to understand and to heal. Silence of My Inceptive Self, Collected Writings, Volume One, is a hybrid, mixed genre collection of writing compiled over 20 years, but mostly written during the maturation years of millennials and Generation Z, for a mature audience, all from a relatable, but tender perspective.

L. Smith's collection of writing is art imitating life that heaves through dating, flirting, desire, love, marital bliss, family, first-time motherhood, raising a preschooler, that plunges into heartbreak, police misconduct, untimely deaths, terminal illness, marital frustration, scandal, black maternal healthcare disparity, and mom guilt, and that leads to the elevating treasure of God's ever-present grace therein.
