VALE

LOVE FROM MY READERS

It begins with love then turns into
a reckoning.
A memoir of identity, faith, and the woman I had to become.

You’re not just buying a book.
You’re buying the part that was never printed.
Behind the cover of the Limited Edition, an NFC key unlocks a private world:
voice, video, and visuals—where the story continues in my own tone, my own breath, my own silence.
This is the version I reserved for the ones who chose the original.


About Valérie

I write the way night writes its lessons: slowly, without mercy, with a patience that feels like fate. My past didn’t shatter; it weathered me, the way the sea weathers stone: return after return, wave after wave, until the surface becomes a language only survival can read.

I write about transformation, the private kind. The kind that remakes your voice before it remakes your life.

I have learned that pain is not a scene. It is architecture. It builds hidden rooms inside you. Corridors you avoid. Doors you keep locked with laughter. And one day you realize you’ve been living in a house you didn’t design, so you begin to rebuild, not with denial, but with truth.

My words are not meant to be pretty. They are meant to be precise.

If you come here looking for softness, you may flinch.
But if you come here looking for truth with a pulse, welcome.

A Few Quiet Answers

What is THE WOMAN I ONCE WAS about?

It’s a story of transformation what love can reveal, what loss can strip away, and what truth rebuilds. A journey through memory, identity, and the woman you become when you stop abandoning yourself.

 

Is it a memoir or a novel?

It’s rooted in lived experience, written with a literary voice. Think of it as memoir with artistry—intimate, honest, and meant to be felt as much as understood.

 

Is it emotionally intense?

Yes—quietly and honestly.
The book doesn’t sensationalize pain, but it doesn’t soften it either. It’s intense in the way real healing is: precise, human, and clarifying.
