It is there that she unexpectedly meets the handsome Julian Rossi, a young drug dealer convinced he has no reason to live.When Elleni’s youth group makes plans to embark on a road trip to Grace Place Camp, one state away, she thinks it the perfect place for Julian to find the answers he’s been looking for.

About the Author
D.S. Fisichella, born Sonya Daniela Gonzalez-Esquivel is an author whose work transcends the confines of simple storytelling—it’s a raw, unflinching exploration of the human condition. Born in San Jose, Costa Rica in 1993 and now a naturalized citizen of the USA, Fisichella carries with her the rich tapestry of her roots—her lineage of artists, woodworkers, singers, and writers. This heritage pulses through her words, giving her writing an undeniable depth and authenticity.As a mother of four, with the bittersweet loss of one child through miscarriage, her work reflects the full spectrum of life’s beauty and heartache. Her words bear the weight of love, loss, and resilience—powerfully human emotions that speak directly to anyone who’s known the ache of longing or the joy of triumph. Through the ups and downs of motherhood and the journey of self-discovery, Fisichella’s voice is unapologetically honest and fiercely compassionate.Since her marriage in 2016, to the love of her life who has seen her in every light, Fisichella’s work also grapples with the complexities of relationships—the rawness of being seen fully and still accepted and fully loved. She doesn’t shy away from the struggles that come with vulnerability and intimacy; instead, she finds strength in them, channeling those intimate moments into words that resonate deeply.Her writing is a reflection of the struggles and victories that define us all—especially the internal battles, the way we question ourselves, hurt ourselves, and ultimately fight to heal. With a keen eye for detail and a heart full of empathy, Fisichella crafts stories and poetry that don’t just entertain, but invite the reader to confront their own truths. She isn’t afraid to explore the darker parts of the human soul—the depths of shame, regret, and grief—but always with the promise that there is light in the end, even if it’s only a flicker at times.In every piece, she intertwines the personal with the universal, weaving her own experiences into narratives that speak to something greater than herself. Whether through poetry that heals or prose that challenges, Fisichella invites her readers into her world—not to escape, but to face it alongside her, and perhaps, find healing for their own.D.S. Fisichella’s work is more than just an expression of her soul; it’s a gift—a glimpse into the beauty and mess of life, in all its complexity. Through her words, she continues the legacy of her family, breathing life into stories that matter, stories that endure.
