A letter from a mother
to her never borned daughter
In this deeply personal and emotionally charged narrative, a mother pens a letter to the daughter she never got to hold, never got to meet. With raw honesty, she reflects on the hopes, dreams, and unanswered questions that will forever remain between them. This letter, written from the heart, is a testament to love, loss, and the haunting absence of what could have been.
But as the mother delves deeper into her emotions, something unexpected stirs—an exploration not only of grief but of the profound connection that transcends even death. In this tender, poetic letter, the mother discovers a journey of healing, where the line between memory and imagination blurs, and where the unspoken becomes the most powerful conversation.
This is more than a letter—it’s a story of love, of possibilities lost, and of finding peace in the unknown.
Childhood
A Joyful Journey with Spirits
As a child, I often felt the presence of people who had passed—an unspoken connection that seemed to transcend time and space. In this book, I share the stories of my childhood and teenage years, where the line between the living and the dead was often blurry, shaped by the rich tapestry of Latin cultural beliefs that surrounded me.
These are the moments where spirits lingered, not as shadows of grief, but as companions in my everyday life. From the whispers of ancestors to the warm embraces of those who’ve left this world, I’ve learned to see death not as an end, but as another form of presence—one that continues to guide, teach, and sometimes even laugh alongside me.
Through personal stories of love, loss, and growing up, I invite you into the intimate world of my experiences, where life and death aren’t separate—they’re intertwined, inseparable, and filled with meaning. This book is my way of sharing that connection, and maybe, just maybe, of helping you see that the people you’ve loved don’t really leave—they stay with you, in ways you never imagined.
Kindred Withches
Women, Magic, and the Sacred Ties That Bind
Kindred Witches is a tapestry of stories about women and the unseen forces that connect them—spirituality, intuition, ritual, and nature.
In this novel-in-progress, Milena Brown draws from her Latin American roots and the mysticism that pulses through South American culture to craft intimate portraits of women rediscovering their power.
Through poetic language and emotional depth, Kindred Witches explores how ancestral memory, feminine wisdom, and sacred practices shape the way women relate to the world—and to each other.
