This is a love story.
In Screaming at Empty Pages, Ame Millhouse opens the long-shuttered doors of memory and invites us into her raw, luminous journey of survival.
Through poems, stories, and fractured recollections of a childhood marked by abuse and neglect, Millhouse explores what it means to remember what was once forgotten, and to reclaim a Self that never had the chance to fully exist.
This book is not simply a retelling of pain, but a testament to endurance.
It is about piecing together a life from scattered fragments, learning to trust her own once-silenced voice, and finding love-even when every instinct said to hide.
With unflinching honesty and poetic fire, Millhouse writes of trauma, doubt, vulnerability, and a fragile hope that rises in the aftermath.
Screaming at Empty Pages is for anyone who has ever sifted through the ruins of their past searching for truth, for healing, and for a way to finally speak.
It is both a reckoning and a reclamation.
A book that reminds us we survive not only by remembering-but by writing, screaming, and eventually, by opening our hearts to the possibility of wholeness.
