In her debut memoir, No Place Like Here, Christina June takes readers on a haunting and ultimately hopeful journey through the labyrinth of memory, trauma, and the power of home.

June's story begins in childhood, where she was raised in a home filled with love and laughter, but also with the unspoken secrets of her parents' troubled past. As she grew older, June began to unravel these secrets, uncovering a hidden history of abuse and mental illness that had haunted her family for generations.

June's memoir is a raw and unflinching account of the impact of trauma on her own life and the lives of those she loves. She writes with unflinching honesty about the ways in which her past has shaped her present, from her struggles with depression and anxiety to her complex relationships with family and friends.

But No Place Like Here is not simply a story of pain and suffering. It is also a story of resilience and hope. June's journey is one of healing and recovery, as she learns to confront her past and find her own path to a better future.

June's writing is both lyrical and deeply personal, drawing readers into her world and making them feel as if they are walking alongside her on her journey. Her memoir is a powerful reminder of the enduring power of memory and the importance of finding a place where we can truly belong.
