""Some wounds don't bleed. They echo.""

Lexie Laura has survived what most people couldn't even speak about.

In this unflinchingly raw memoir, she doesn't just tell her story, she opens the door and lets you feel it. From childhood trauma and abandonment to unspeakable loss, betrayal, abuse, addiction, and a house fire that claimed three of her children, The War Inside My Head is more than a memoir. It's a reckoning. A resurrection. A love letter to the ones who feel everything too deeply and keep surviving anyway.

Through poetic prose, unfiltered truth, and letters she never sent, Lexie takes readers through the darkest corners of her life... not to shock you, but to show you the strength it takes to keep breathing through pain that tries to bury you alive. She writes like a woman who bled on the page and called it sacred. She writes for the overthinkers, the outcasts, the motherless daughters, the ones still hiding under the bed, and the ones who wonder if they'll ever feel whole again.

This book is not about perfection. It's about presence. It's about naming the pain. Taking back the power. And learning that survival isn't just enough... it's a miracle.

If you've ever felt too broken to matter, too scarred to be seen, too shattered to be loved...this book is for you.

Because you're not alone.

Lexie Laura writes where shadows meet light. She is a fearless voice in modern literature, an author whose words move between genres with ease, raw honesty, and unforgettable power. From searing memoirs (The War Inside My Head, Pulling the Rope Together) to lyrical poetry, from dark, psychological thrillers (The Holdout, And So we Begin, Becoming the Boogieman) to laugh-out-loud adult comedies (Trauma Bonding), her writing refuses to stay in one lane. Each book carries her signature: emotional intensity, sharp insight, and a gift for capturing both the shadows and the light of human experience.Her work is rooted in a life lived with extraordinary depth... marked by survival, resilience, and an unshakable belief in the power of stories to heal, connect, and inspire. Whether she is exploring the pain of grief, the chaos of trauma, or the humor found in everyday disasters, Lexie brings a voice that is both unflinchingly real and beautifully lyrical.Through her imprint, 4 Heartbeats Publishing, she continues to expand her literary universe, offering readers not just books, but experiences... stories that linger long after the last page.When she isn't writing, Lexie can be found in the mountains or at the sea with her beloved Pomeranian pack, who often steal the spotlight in her stories and her life.
