Good Girl

"Tracing the author's evolution from being a “good girl” who wasn't prepared for certain traps to transforming into her most genuine self, Anna Storm’s memoir GOOD GIRL deftly navigates the world of the Gen-X era." ~ McKenzie Lynn Tozan for IndieReader

From a hundred-yard view, Anna’s life looked ordinary — maybe even enviable. She had loving parents, salt-of-the-earth friends and family, two university degrees, a nice house, and a good job. Behind the shiny façade, however, her life had become desperate, dark, and nearly intolerable.

In her debut book, Good Girl, Anna Storm writes with vulnerability, grit, and (sometimes dark) humour. She shares the path she’s taken to break free of “good girl” programming and grapple with the lingering effects of the trauma that shaped her life.

Offering her most vulnerable self, Anna explores the origins of her victimhood alongside an eye-opening examination of the complex toxicity of narcissistic abuse, and what it truly takes to detach from its grip. She shares the devastating reality of life inside a narcissistic relationship, the slow erosion of self, and the immense courage it takes to break free — and stay free.

Walk hand-in-hand with Anna as she heals deep wounds and learns to gently surround herself with unfamiliar offerings of self-love. Revel in her delight as deep despair dissolves into unexpected freedom, dizzying beauty, and storybook love.

Anna travelled a long road to find a place of safety, strength, and understanding. She’s hopeful that by sharing her journey she may offer others the clarity and help she could not access when she needed it most.
