Phoenix Woman — A book about falling, surviving, and being reborn.

Some stories are born from silence.

For years I kept many things silent.

I silenced my fear.
I kept silent about the humiliations.
I silenced the pain of watching my children grow up in an environment where love was no longer protection.

From the outside, my life seemed normal.
Teacher. Devoted mother. Strong woman.

But inside, I was disappearing.

There were days when I doubted myself.
There were nights when I cried silently so that my children wouldn't hear.

Until one day I realized something that changed everything: if I remained silent, my story would die with me.

That's how " Phoenix Woman" was born.

What is " Phoenix Woman"?

This book is a true testimony.

It's not just a story of pain.
It's the story of reconstruction.

It is the journey of a woman who endured psychological violence, fear, and guilt… and who, step by step, found within herself the strength to be reborn.

I wrote this book because I know there are many women who silently experience what I have experienced.

Women who feel lonely.
Women who doubt their own strength.
Women who don't yet know that they too can be reborn.

If this book manages to touch even one of these women, then it will have fulfilled its mission.

Why do I need your help?

Publishing a book has costs that I cannot afford on my own right now.

Between proofreading, editing, layout, cover design, and printing, the necessary investment is significant.

That's why I decided to launch this crowdfunding campaign.

I'm not just asking for financial help.

I ask that you become a part of this story.

Each person who contributes will be helping to transform this difficult experience into something that can inspire and empower others.

I deeply believe that this testimony needs to reach the world, but my current financial situation does not allow me to independently cover the publishing costs. Therefore, I invite you to be an active part of this mission through this crowdfunding campaign.

Your support is not just about publishing a book; it's about ensuring that this record of resilience gains a voice and reaches all those who need to believe that it's possible to rise from the ashes. This is not a passive request for help, but an invitation to solidarity so that a clear truth is not erased for lack of resources.

Let's make this Phoenix take flight, together.

About the author

I am a mother, a teacher, and the author of the book Phoenix Woman .

For many years I lived in silence a reality that, from the outside, no one saw. A life marked by fear, humiliation, and psychological violence. For a long time I thought I had to endure it, that maybe it was just a phase, that maybe I could save what was already destroying me from the inside.

But there came a point when I realized that remaining silent was also a way of remaining imprisoned.

Writing Phoenix Woman was one of the most difficult and liberating acts of my life. There were pages I wrote in tears. There were memories that made me relive pains I thought were already buried. Even so, I felt I needed to do it. Not only for myself, but for all the women who live through similar situations and who often feel alone.

My current financial situation does not allow me to afford the costs necessary to publish this book. Even so, I deeply believe that this story deserves to reach other people. I believe it can give courage, hope, and strength to women who silently experience violence within their own homes.

This book wasn't created to be just a story. It was created to be a testimony and, if possible, a light for those who are still in darkness.

Creating this campaign is an act of courage and also of humility. I ask for help so that Mulher Fénix can exist and reach the hands of those who need to read that it is possible to be reborn, even after everything.

If this book manages to touch someone's heart and help a woman realize that she deserves a life free from violence, then this entire journey will have been worthwhile.

Sharing this story is not easy for me. For many years I lived in silence and learned to hide the pain to protect my children and keep moving forward. Exposing this part of my life now requires courage, but also hope.

I hope that Phoenix Woman can be more than just a book. May it be a sign to other women that they are not alone, that pain doesn't have to be the end of the story, and that it's possible to find the strength to start again.

If you feel this story deserves to exist and reach other people, I ask you to help me make it a reality. Every contribution, every share, and every word of support is a small flame that helps this Phoenix take flight.

Thank you for believing that, even after the ashes, it is possible to be reborn.

    Mensagem de agradecimento aos meus apoiantes

    Quero deixar um agradecimento muito sincero a todas as pessoas que já decidiram apoiar esta campanha.

    Cada contributo, cada palavra de incentivo e cada partilha significam muito para mim. Este livro nasceu de uma história pessoal marcada por momentos difíceis, mas também por coragem e vontade de recomeçar. Saber que há pessoas que acreditam neste projeto e na importância desta mensagem dá-me ainda mais força para continuar.

    O vosso apoio não está apenas a ajudar a publicar um livro. Está também a ajudar a dar voz a uma história real que pode tocar e inspirar outras mulheres que vivem situações de silêncio e sofrimento.

    Espero, do fundo do coração, que "Mulher Fénix" possa chegar às mãos de quem precisa de ler que, mesmo depois das cinzas, é possível renascer.

    Muito obrigada por fazerem parte desta caminhada e por ajudarem esta Fénix a ganhar asas.
