Book overview
Can You See Me? is a raw, courageous memoir of survival, addiction, faith, and healing.
From a childhood marked by abandonment, abuse, and silence, Latoya Pemberton learned early what it meant to be unseen. Passed between caregivers, stripped of safety, and burdened by trauma no child should endure, she grew into adulthood carrying wounds that shaped every choice she made. Addiction became a way to survive what she could not yet name.
With unflinching honesty, Latoya shares her journey through substance abuse, loss, incarceration, broken relationships, and the relentless search for relief. Her story does not glorify pain, it exposes it, while offering something rare and deeply needed: truth without shame.
This memoir is also a story of transformation. Through surrender, faith, recovery, and inner child healing, Latoya found a path not just out of addiction, but toward wholeness. Her healing became her purpose, leading her to support other women walking similar roads.
Can You See Me? is for anyone who has ever felt invisible, broken, or unworthy of love. It is a reminder that healing is possible, recovery is real, and even the most painful stories can become sources of strength.
This book speaks to survivors, seekers, and anyone ready to believe that being seen can change everything.
