Overview

An Object In Motion explores the quiet truths of a childhood shaped by instability, silence, and survival.

Told through a series of vivid, lyrical poems and divided into sections that mirror the places a child learns to endure, this book traces the emotional arc of growing up in foster care: the fear that settles into the body, the longing for safety, the heartbreak of being returned, and the small, stubborn sparks of hope that refuse to die.

From the earliest rooms of hunger and confusion, to the endless moves, to the ache of waiting for people who never showed up, these poems illuminate an experience rarely spoken aloud but deeply felt by many. Each page offers raw honesty woven with tenderness-an intimate look into a world where children must become their own protectors long before they should.

An Object In Motion is both a personal excavation and a universal story of survival.
For anyone who has felt unheard, unseen, or unchosen, these poems are a reminder:
what you lived through matters, your voice matters, and you were never the problem.
