“Some demons are inherited. Some are made. But the hardest to face are the ones that wear your own name.”
Kimberly Callis, Stoning Demons
In her haunting and courageous debut, Kimberly Callis opens the door to the deeply personal and often misunderstood experience of Complex PTSD, or C-PTSD, through the lens of her own childhood. Stoning Demons: Book 1 – Childhood Trauma is a Primer for Complex PTSD isn’t just a memoir—it’s a reckoning. It’s a confrontation. And it’s a path forward.
With raw insight and clarity, Callis draws a direct line between the emotional wounds of early life and the lifelong patterns they form. She does what few books dare: she strips away the diagnostic detachment and brings us into the reality of what it feels like to live with trauma as your foundation. The result is powerful.
“Stoning Demons” isn’t just a title.
It’s a metaphor for the relentless work of breaking down the inherited, internalized, and imposed voices that echo from childhood trauma. This is Book 1 in what promises to be an essential series for survivors, mental health advocates, and anyone ready to stop running from the past.
