About /The Imprint
Why the world needs emotionally intelligent rebels.
Mainstream publishing demands polish. Self-help demands answers.
Polished stories are comfortable. Clear answers are easy to sell. We exist in the space those leave behind—the story that resists closure, the distortion that reveals more than the mask.
Therapeutic doesn’t mean soft. It means true.
Every book we choose is alive. It carries memory, tension, inner landscapes. We trust writers who lean into those edges—not because pain is glamorous, but because truth demands it.
Publish with purpose.
Healing Shelf Press is a boutique literary imprint for fiction and memoir that wrestle with identity, fracture, and emergence. We use a trauma-informed, emotionally layered process—not to fix your shadow, but to respect it. We don’t provide “packages.” We create partnership—because art is relational, and truth is collective.

Behind the Mirror is therapeutic fiction at its core—where emotional healing collides with high-functioning burnout, generational trauma, and a fourth marriage on the brink.
Julie Sloan has spent her life performing: a polished professional, a chronic overfunctioner, and a master of pretending things were fine. Wife of the year? Not exactly—more like emotionally unavailable in heels.
When her fourth marriage nearly collapses, Julie faces a truth she can’t outrun: she’s been chasing love and worthiness her entire life because, deep down, she never believed she was enough. It isn’t betrayal that shakes her—it’s the quiet realization that she’s never truly lived for herself.
What follows isn’t a breakdown, but a breakthrough. A raw, redemptive journey that dismantles survival patterns and makes space for something more real. Years later, when a journalist comes knocking, Julie finally tells the story she’s never shared—the one about how she stopped abandoning herself to keep everyone else comfortable.
For fans of Cheryl Strayed, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Glennon Doyle, Behind the Mirror is literary fiction with therapeutic insight—an invitation into healing, awakening, and self-discovery.
