Burdens Undone

This compelling story is an emotional journey through the lives of nine individuals as they navigate their way through loss, isolation, betrayal, and disastrous circumstances that sometimes stem from willful, assumptive thinking. Their interactions with one another and others is largely motivated by violence, tragedy, self-indulgence, neglect and fear. The issues they face both singularly and communally are shocking to most but heartbreakingly familiar to others. Compounding circumstances, which seem unimportant at a glance, lead to extreme outcomes such as harmful language , self-harm , violence , abuse , and even murder . Meaning that this text is not for the faint of heart or intended for children to read. Told from a relatable first-person perspective, this highly anticipated, layered novel is saturated with thought-provoking dialogue and constructed through illustrative language, making it almost impossible not to get drawn in by their predicaments and lost in their reality. Burdens Undone is the highly anticipated rewrite and continuation of The Girl in the Pink Beret: Who Sits Alone and Thinks in Silence , a dark tale of intertangled fates. As an author, J. Navielle prefers to keep her life and her beliefs separate as best she can as a black woman of mixed heritage, from Oakland, California. Inspired by the writings of Alice Walker, Toni Morrison, Mukta Sambrani, and many others, her writing style is a carefully woven tapestry of her own experiences, her imagination and a satirical critique of the world around her. —- ISBN: 9798414052944
