Part memoir, part mirror. For those unlearning pain and rewriting their story with love.

Girl Unlearned is a raw and honest memoir about breaking generational cycles, reclaiming identity, and finding a sense of home within yourself.

In these pages, Anh Mian shares the story of her healing journey after being taken from her mother as a child and raised between two cultures, shaped by silence, shame, and emotional abandonment. Taught to stay small and quiet, she lived in survival mode for years until the quiet voice within her refused to be silenced.

This is the story of what it took to stop seeking external approval, unlearn inherited trauma, and nurture both her children and herself with the kind of love she never received.

Girl Unlearned isn't about perfection. It's about the real, everyday work of healing. It's about seeing softness as strength, boundaries as self-respect, and learning to rewrite your story even with trembling hands.

If you've ever been told you were too much.

If you've stayed silent to keep the peace.

If you're learning to choose yourself without apology.

You're not alone.

You were always becoming.

For readers of Braving the Wilderness and The Mountain Is You. For anyone learning to belong to themselves first.

Reviews for Girl Unlearned: Finding My Voice, Rebuilding My Life, and Breaking Generational Cycles

What People Are Saying About Girl Unlearned ""Girl Unlearned is one of the most exhilarating, inspiring, raw, emotional, and empowering books I've read! This book lays out the human emotions that most of us have encountered one way or another. Very detailed and articulate with identifying your own self-reflection in ways you can only imagine. Two thumbs up!"" - Chau Pham ""Reading Girl Unlearned felt like someone cracked open the parts of me I've kept hidden and whispered, 'You're not alone.' This book isn't just words on a page; it's a mirror, a release, a quiet kind of revolution. The way the author poured her truth into every line made me pause, reflect, and sometimes cry. It reminded me of the things I've buried, the strength I forgot I had, and the healing I still deserve. This isn't just a memoir; it's medicine for the soul. If you've ever struggled with identity, grief, motherhood, or the weight of being a woman trying to heal, this book will hold you like a friend. I didn't expect it to shake me the way it did, but I'm so grateful it did."" - Rubiya M.
