Join us for a powerful and deeply personal virtual book launch marking the release of Moira — a moving novel of grief, resilience, and the courage to reclaim your life. FREE EVENT – registration required.
Hosted on Zoom, this intimate 45-minute event will bring readers closer to the heart of the story, and the remarkable journey behind it.
Written under the pen name Helen Oxenham, this book represents more than a story — it is a moment of identity, reflection, and completion.
About the Book
In a small Scottish village, Moira learns early that secrets can shape a lifetime.
At just fifteen, she makes a life-altering decision, one that quietly follows her into adulthood. As the years unfold, she faces devastating loss, shocking truths about her past, and betrayal by those closest to her.
When a violent attack leaves her fighting for her life, Moira is forced to confront not only the world around her — but the woman she has become.
Returning to the village she once fled, she begins a journey of healing, love, and ultimately, the strength to stop surviving and start living.
Moira is a deeply emotional, character-driven novel about resilience, identity, and the quiet power of choosing your own future.
About the Author: Helen Oxenham
Helen Oxenham is the pen name of an author with over ten published books.
But this name carries a deeper meaning.
Born with a different identity, and later adopted, Helen represents the life that might have been — a name imagined, wondered about, and carried quietly through the years.
After discovering life-changing truths about her biological family later in life, including the identity of her father and a connection to multiple siblings, this book marks a deeply personal milestone.
Seeing the name Helen Oxenham on the front of a book is not just symbolic — it is a moment of completion, reflection, and emotional truth.
This event is not just a book launch — it’s a celebration of identity, resilience, and becoming whole.
