bare

From debut author Joseph T. Matthews comes bare -an emotionally raw and unflinching novel that delves into the hidden depths of human vulnerability, love, and resilience. Content Warning: bare addresses mature themes, including explicit depictions of sexual intimacy, mental health challenges, and sensitive subjects such as trauma and emotional distress. Reader discretion is advised. Within the quiet space of a therapist’s office, six individuals confront the storms of their lives head-on. Dr. Foster, a compassionate and steady presence, becomes their anchor as they work through buried fears, unspoken desires, and the scars left behind by life’s trials. Through their sessions, each story unfolds as a powerful narrative of connection, healing, and the courage it takes to rebuild after falling apart. Set against the intimate backdrop of therapy, bare thoughtfully explores themes of mental health, relationships, identity, and the strength of the human spirit. These characters’ journeys remind us that even in our darkest moments, there is light to be found in vulnerability and self-discovery. Unflinchingly honest and profoundly moving, bare is a novel for anyone who has ever questioned their place in the world-or within themselves. —- ISBN: 9798992402117 | ISBN10: B0DT1KNCH2 | ISBN-13: 979-8992402117
