The Girl the Darkness Raised

A Memoir of Scarcity, Survival, and Becoming
by A.L. Childers

She didn’t grow up in the dark—
the dark grew up around her.

Raised in poverty in the shadowed corners of South Carolina, A.L. Childers survived hunger, shame, a mother’s favoritism, and a single night that shattered her innocence forever. What followed wasn’t a childhood—it was endurance.

Told in haunting, cinematic scenes, The Girl the Darkness Raised traces a girl who learned to disappear… and the woman who fought her way back into her own life. From the suffocating chaos of motherhood, anxiety, and near-death trauma to the quiet rebirth of choosing freedom, beauty, and self-worth, this memoir is raw, poetic, and unforgettable.

Perfect for readers of Educated, The Glass Castle, and Untamed, this is a story about the silent battles women carry—and the rising that changes everything.

Raised by shadows. Reborn by fire.
