I Am Not Toxic

I Am Not ToxicSome truths whisper.This one had to bark, breathe, and finally speak.Ana has spent her life shrinking-apologizing too quickly, softening her presence, trying not to disturb a world that never truly saw her. The label follows her everywhere: toxic.But Ana isn't toxic. She's terrified.Her turning point arrives unexpectedly-with Win, a small bulldog whose steady presence and unconditional love become her first safe place, and Liam, Win's gentle, observant owner, who refuses to let Ana disappear into silence. Together, they form an anchor before Ana even knows she's drowning.As Ana begins the long work of healing, kindness gathers around her: Olivia, a loyal friend who never looks away; compassionate therapists who help untangle buried wounds; and a grandmother whose quiet faith sees what others miss. Still, truth demands its reckoning-and when buried secrets surface, a community must confront what it ignored.I Am Not Toxic is a powerful contemporary novel of survival, justice, and chosen family. Beyond the story, the book includes an original song (Blue Skies Don't Break), and a poem written from Ana to Win (Oh… holy angel, I'll miss you in...), giving voice to emotions words alone can't hold.Perfect for readers of A Man Called Ove, The Fault in Our Stars, and Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, this is a story that breaks gently-and heals honestly.Ana's story is fiction.Her message is not.
