Silence never saved anyone, so I write
Christine DeMarsico
Welcome
I am a writer, educator, and storyteller drawn to the places where life fractures.
I write about what happens after—after loss, after rupture, after the moment when the world no longer resembles the life you thought you were living. My work lives at the intersection of grief, womanhood, resilience, and the systems that shape us long before we have language for their power. As a woman, wife, mother, teacher, and business owner, I find life in the brokenness.
Stories to create change

We find power in shared humanity, in our stories, we rise as the mighty Phoenix.

In a world of civil unrest and chaos, we write to make sense of the senseless; in our stories, we heal.
