I Drank From The Nile

"What kind of mother kidnaps her own child? The kind who has no other choice."Katya Dunko grew up in chaos, learning to silence her wounds. To her, home was a place that didn't exist on a map. Pills dulled the ache, and survival became the mask for an addiction-introduced by the one person who should have protected her.Determined to prove she was worthy, Katya followed love to Egypt, believing it would be her transformation. Instead, it became the place that forced her to confront the pain.Spanning four years and four countries, I Drank From the Nile is a raw confession of addiction, survival, and the relentless pursuit of self-worth. A story of resilience, carved from struggle and bound by one unbreakable truth-the cycle ended with her.For readers of The House of My Mother, Only Say Good Things, The Girl Who Smiled Beads, Lit, and Not Without My Daughter, this intimate memoir of survival after trauma-of hidden addiction, resilience, motherhood, and breaking generational pain-proves that even in our darkest chapters, we can turn pain into power.
