More than a collection of art and poetry, "The Portrait Project" highlights the inspiring resilience and courage of trauma survivors in the form of contemporary oil paintings, accompanying stories and powerful poetry.

In the words of the artist, Danielle Festa:

"In 2020 my cousin Sue came to me with the truth of her childhood sexual assault. What came as a tsunami of painful information was a release of stored trauma for her. She finally allowed herself to accept support, gain confidence and offload the weight of this secret. I asked if I could paint this transformation I saw. It was cathartic for me to throw down ink like Jackson Pollock for the background and to embroider the gold and white threads that represent her strength. I could not have predicted, but this opened up a new chapter in my life - I began painting old friends and making new ones while painting their stories of resilience. This has since developed into a 501(c)(3) organization, The Aplomb Project.

Collaboration is my priority from the start. I ensure that everything from the reference painting, the pose, the outfit, the colors, photoshoot location and even the music I listen to while I paint, is the survivor's choice. It means the world to me that each one of them trusts me with their story and I take that responsibility seriously.

Not only do the survivors get their paintings, but they also become part of a supportive community. This book features survivors with inspiring stories of resilience, and empowering trauma-themed poetry. The stories are purposefully written without graphic details, but please take your time and be sure you are in a place to receive them. If you or someone you know has experienced trauma and are looking for support, please see a list of some reputable organizations available to help at theaplombproject.org/resources.Ó

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.

Format: Kindle
What a delightful read. The characters are awesome, the plot was so good, I loved it. I was intrigued and it kept me wanting more. Told in multiple pov, the book sucks you in and doesn’t let go. I cannot wait to read the next book.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.
