Siren Stories : The Complete Collection
From tragedy to triumph, The Beginning is the raw and inspiring true story of Andromeda Siren's journey from childhood trauma to hard-won freedom.
Born into darkness, Andromeda survives what most wouldn't. At age 4, her world fractures. At age 12, devastating loss. At age 15, she makes a choice that changes everything: she fights back and reclaims her life.
Discover how a girl transforms trauma into resilience, loss into awareness, and abuse into the fuel for her own survival. This is the foundation of everything that follows—the story of a child who refused to be broken and instead became the architect of her own destiny.
For readers who: Have survived childhood trauma, experienced parental loss, felt invisible, or wondered if freedom is possible. For anyone who needs to know: you can survive this.
Book 2: "Liberty or Death" (1998-2003)
At 16, newly free but entirely alone, Andromeda must learn what independence actually costs. Liberty or Death follows a young woman building a life from nothing—through education, determination, and sheer will.
She discovers that freedom and safety are not the same thing. That survival requires constant vigilance. That starting over means learning everything on your own. And that the patterns of her past have a way of showing up in her present.
This is the story of a young woman learning to stand on her own two feet while carrying wounds she doesn't yet know how to heal. It's raw, real, and deeply human.
For readers who: Are building new lives, figuring out independence, navigating early motherhood, or wondering if they're strong enough. For anyone learning that resilience looks different than you expected.
Book 3: "Married with Children" (2003-2015)
For 12 years, Andromeda becomes the emotional backbone of her family. She supports, advocates, translates, regulates, and holds everything together. Married with Children is the quiet, devastating story of how love becomes self-abandonment.
See how a woman can thrive on the outside while falling apart on the inside. See how caregiving becomes erasure. See where the patterns of her childhood show up in her adult life. And see the slow realization that something fundamental is breaking.
This book asks the question that the rest of the series answers: What happens when the person holding everything together finally lets go?
For readers who: Are caregivers, supporters of neurodivergent loved ones, partners in complex relationships, or slowly disappearing. For anyone recognizing themselves in the invisible labor of loving others.
Book 4: "Broken Dreams" (2015-2023)
Systems fail. Awareness grows. And the cost of holding everything together becomes unsustainable. Broken Dreams spans 8 years of upheaval, family dysfunction, and the slow realization that the life Andromeda built is becoming unsafe.
She discovers truths about her past that recontextualize everything. She watches people she loves resist help. She recognizes patterns she can't unsee. And she begins to understand that understanding trauma doesn't prevent you from repeating it—it just makes you aware of it while it's happening.
This is the setup for everything that follows. The moment before the breaking point.
For readers who: Are recognizing toxicity in their families, struggling to help people who won't help themselves, or watching their lives begin to crack under pressure. For anyone who knows something fundamental is wrong but can't quite stop it yet.
Book 5: "Was Any of it Real?" (2023-2025)
Reader Discretion Advised: This is the darkest book in the series.
Everything breaks. All at once. Was Any of it Real? is the story of a woman in extreme crisis—homeless, abandoned, and reaching for connection in the only way she can—and the moment she finally chooses herself.
This book doesn't shy away from the messy parts: the infidelity, the hospitalization, the conscious choices made in breakdown, the loss of the person who understood her best, and the courage it takes to call 911 on yourself despite your deepest fears.
See accountability without excuses. See understanding without acceptance. See a woman discover that sometimes saving yourself means losing everything you thought you'd built.
For readers who: Have experienced mental health crises, been hospitalized, made choices they're not proud of, loved avoidant people, or found themselves in impossible situations. For anyone learning that hitting bottom can be a turning point.
Book 6: "Over the Rainbow" (2025-Today)
From homelessness to the ocean. From crisis to creation. Over the Rainbow is the story of a woman learning to live for herself for the first time.
Andromeda moves to the Gulf Coast and begins to rebuild. She starts a podcast. She creates art. She writes. She learns who she is when she's not supporting everyone else. She discovers that choosing yourself doesn't make you selfish—it makes you sane.
This is not a neat redemption arc. It's a real story about ongoing healing, setting boundaries, modeling authenticity for your children, and discovering that dreams deferred can still come true. It's a woman becoming.
For readers who: Are rebuilding after hitting bottom, learning to prioritize themselves, co-parenting after separation, or discovering who they are beyond the roles they've played. For anyone learning that it's never too late to choose yourself.
