My Body Knew Before I Did
A Novel

What if your body remembered what your mind couldn't survive knowing?

At twenty, Katya believes she is simply anxious-high-functioning, capable, and inexplicably unsettled by touch, intimacy, and certain smells she can't explain. But when fragments of memory begin to surface, she is forced to confront a truth her mind buried years ago to protect her. At fifteen, during a summer at her family's dacha outside Kyiv, Katya trusted the adults around her-especially a man everyone called harmless. What happened to her was never named, never spoken, and never remembered. Until now. As Katya pieces together the past, she discovers that forgetting was not weakness-it was survival. Her body carried the truth through panic, dissociation, and unexplained reactions long before her mind could bear to know it. Through therapy, community, and painful confrontation, she learns that healing does not mean erasing the past, but integrating it-on her own terms.

My Body Knew Before I Did is a deeply intimate, psychologically precise novel about delayed recognition of childhood sexual abuse, dissociative amnesia, and the long, nonlinear path toward reclaiming one's body and voice.

Written with restraint, compassion, and unflinching honesty, this novel is for every woman who has ever wondered:
