Rising
from the Ashes
Healing Emotional Wounds
A quiet, careful guide to moving through the pain we often carry alone — and rediscovering the person we were always meant to become.
Inside the Book
Eight chapters for the long work ahead.
Each chapter offers reflection, research, and gentle practice — designed to be read slowly, returned to often, and underlined generously.
The Weight We Learn to Carry
Understanding the origins of emotional wounds, and why most of us never named them.
Naming the Fire
A framework for identifying the specific pain beneath the surface of daily life.
Stillness as Medicine
Why pause is not avoidance — and how silence becomes part of the healing.
The Long Walk Through Grief
On the non-linear nature of loss, and the gentle permissions required.
Rebuilding the Inner Voice
Practices for softening self-criticism and restoring self-trust over time.
Relationships After the Storm
How healing reshapes the way we show up for the people we love.
A Life Worth Returning To
Finding meaning, ritual, and joy in a life that feels, finally, like your own.
On Rising
A closing reflection on what it means to stand again — changed, but whole.
Praise
Early readers, in their own words.

Common Questions
Before you order.
Everything we're usually asked — shipping, editions, and the occasional question from book clubs and practitioners.
When will my copy ship?
Hardcover and autographed editions ship from our Portland bindery within three to five business days. Domestic orders typically arrive within a week; international within two to three. E-Books are delivered instantly to the email on your order.
Is there a Kindle or Apple Books version?
Yes — the E-Book edition purchased here includes both ePub and PDF files. Kindle, Apple Books, and other retailer links are listed in the Shop section.
What makes the Autographed Edition different?
Each of the five hundred autographed copies is personally signed by E. Wise, hand-numbered, and printed on the same cream archival paper as the Hardcover — with a foil-stamped colophon inside the front cover and a letterpressed slipcase. Once the run sells out, it will not be reprinted.
Do you offer bulk orders for practices or retreats?
We do. Orders of ten or more receive discounted pricing and complimentary freight. Therapists, retreat leaders, and booksellers can write to editorial@emeraldpublishing.co with the quantity and shipping address, and we'll reply within two business days.
Is there an audiobook?
An audiobook narrated by the author is in production for a release later this year. Newsletter subscribers will be the first to hear when preorders open — you can sign up just below this section.

For press, speaking, or a kind word.
Interviews, podcast appearances, bulk orders for retreats and therapy practices, or simply a note for the author — we read every message.
