Constellations and Collapse

Constellations and Collapse: A Memoir in Verse About Faith, Trauma, and Redemption

Some stories don't begin with hope - they begin in the wreckage.

In this raw and redemptive memoir-in-disguise, Kris Crawford takes readers into the trenches of trauma, addiction, motherhood, and the long road back to grace. Through unflinching honesty and lyrical prose, these pages reveal what it means to break, unravel, and still rise again - messy, flawed, and still healing.

From childhood grief and silent abuse to relapse, recovery, and rebirth, Crawford's story is woven with faith, community, and stubborn love. This isn't the polished version of healing - this is what healing truly looks like: relapse and revelation, whispered prayers and courtroom collapses, midnight feedings and whispered apologies.

Written for the mothers, the daughters, the addicts, the survivors, and anyone who has ever felt too broken to be used by God, Constellations and Collapse is a love letter to the ones still trying.

You don't have to have it all together to be in progress.

You just need to stay.
