We Rise Press

Quiet books for women going through hard things, and for women on the other side of them.


Some of our books are practical: guides to recognizing narcissistic abuse, leaving it, and healing afterward. Written in plain language, for women who need the truth told kindly and without alarm.

Others are gentler — puzzles, journals, and quiet pages for the days when your mind needs somewhere soft to go.

They are made with the same intention. Each one is meant to work the way a hug does: nothing asked of you, just something steady to hold.

Our books are made to be used rather than admired. Large print, wide margins, room to write, and no assumption that you have a great deal of energy to spare today.

Recognizing Narcissistic Abuse

For the woman still asking whether it counts. It names the patterns in plain language — gaslighting, the cycle, financial control, DARVO — and gives you room to write down what you have been carrying alone.

The Calm Word Search Book for Women

125 large print puzzles

Short, calming word searches on the small things that make a life. Bread baking in the oven. A slow first cup. Rest you didn’t have to earn. Twenty quiet minutes that ask nothing of you.

On the name behind these

We publish without a name attached. Partly because some of this work is safer that way, and partly because the books were never meant to be about their author — only about whether they help the woman holding one.

If one of them finds you at the right moment, that is the whole reason it exists.
