Dancing the Rain

In 2022, Nella Coiro is happy, emotionally healthy, and loved - but her journey to get here has not always been a simple or linear one. A troubled childhood set her on a path that would have completely overwhelmed anyone with less resilience and courage. But Nella never gave up. In this raw and deeply intimate memoir, Nella shares for the first time, the challenges she faced growing up in a home that exposed her to physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. Learning from her parents, Nella has had her own struggles with substance abuse, depression, and ongoing adversity - but here, she illustrates how she navigated the immeasurable obstacles she faced as a youth, as well as how, as an adult, she balances the lasting scars from those traumas, as well as addressing serious medical issues. With the love and support of her spouse, and reliance upon her spirituality, she continues the lifelong journey towards self-acceptance, self-love, personal growth, and inner peace.
