What do you do when you live in a house that rocks—a place that looks normal on the outside but inside can be dangerous?

Do you hide?

Leave?

Pretend everything is fine?

This is the story of a girl who learned to withstand a Rocking House. One day, a letter arrives with an invitation to new possibilities. The girl wonders, “What should I do now?”

It’s a story for anyone, of any age, who ever lived in a house that rocked. It offers comfort and inspiration, it opens the door to what might come next—which is entirely up to you.

This isn’t just a book. It’s life-affirming, life-changing, life-saving art. It’s a gift that says “I care about you.”

Trent was my partner until he died, unexpectedly, at age 46. I loved him immensely and he adored me. After he died, my friends encouraged me to write out my grief. So I did, on a blog, because it was 2009 and I thought it would be cool to have a blog.

Then, because it felt incomplete, I retreated to a tiny cabin in the woods to turn all those blog posts into a story. At first, I thought it was a biography. But it’s a memoir.

Here’s a review from someone named The Flash: “Thoughtful. Honest. Evocative. Shocking at a number of turns. But I couldn’t put it down.”

What happens when you don’t know who you are? 

This is the story of a boy taken from his family that loved him and raised by another that didn’t.

It’s a story for anyone of any age who’s ever felt they might be in the wrong place, with the wrong people, living the wrong life.

Prince Tarkten is about coming home to who you really are.
