About the Author
Tamaris L.M. Henagan
Rev. Tamaris L.M. Henagan is an ordained reverend and author whose writing emerges from the intersection of personal experience, spiritual conviction, and a deep desire to see people walk in wholeness. Her work addresses the wounds that families leave — not always through cruelty, but often through silence, absence, and the quiet weight of expectation.
With a background that spans law, ministry, and community leadership, Tamaris brings both analytical precision and pastoral heart to her writing. Her debut book is compact but powerful — designed to be read in a single sitting and carried in the heart for a lifetime.
She writes for the person who grew up in a "good" home but still carries invisible wounds. For the adult child still seeking their father's approval. For anyone ready to stop asking "why" and start asking "what do I need?"
