Publisher's Synopsis
A collection of short stories for the woman who's done holding it all together.
What does it mean to feel truly seen?
Not just noticed-but known. Understood. Held in the quiet chaos of real life.
In this beautifully written collection, Erin Holley invites readers into the hearts and inner worlds of women navigating modern life-burnout, body image, grief, motherhood, emotional labor, the weight of expectations, and the journey of becoming whole again.
You'll meet:
- Ava, exhausted by dating app fatigue and emotional guesswork, craving something real in a world built on swipes and ghosting.
- Amelia, who sees every flaw in the mirror and none of her own strength, until she's offered one moment of unexpected compassion.
- Maya, drowning in anxiety and the pressure to perform, who finally dares to pause and choose peace over perfection.
- Kira, overwhelmed by the world's noise, finding solace in silence and the love that doesn't try to fix her.
- Caroline, successful on paper but secretly unraveling, learning to reclaim her creativity and her voice.
SEEN is not about perfect endings. It's about honest beginnings. About the moments we whisper, "I can't keep doing this," and the strength it takes to show up anyway. Every story reflects a different shade of what it means to be a modern woman trying to hold her career, her identity, her relationships, and herself-without falling apart.
Told with tenderness, raw honesty, and poetic clarity, SEEN is a mirror and a balm. A reminder that you're not too much, not too late, and never alone.
Perfect for fans of Brené Brown, Glennon Doyle, or readers of collections like Milk and Honey, Tiny Beautiful Things, and Women Who Run With the Wolves-this is a book for anyone craving rest, recognition, and the quiet power of reclaiming yourself.
This is your invitation to exhale.
To feel.
To be.
To be seen.
