A different approach to
understanding and overcoming addiction
Where poetic storytelling meets healing and transformation,
and each page invites
the heart to awaken.
My name is Elisa Fortise Christensen
I am an American author, poet, and public speaker whose work celebrates tenacity, courage, and the quiet strength that lives within each of us.
From fiction to non-fiction, poetry to comedic prose—I believe that each of my books is shaped by the themes that guide my own life: resilience, kindness, love, and our enduring connection to the natural world and to one another.
My writing invites readers to step fully into their own narratives, to become warriors in their life stories, and to meet the world with bravery, reflection, and grace.
MY BOOKS
The Deep Abyss
The forest knows things the heart has forgotten.
When a violent rupture along the San Andreas Fault devastates California, fifty-three-year-old Eden McGuire and her two dogs find themselves trapped on a remote mountain, cut off from the world below. With starvation, injury, and freezing nights closing in, Eden must navigate a wilderness as merciless as it is breathtaking—fighting not only to stay alive, but to keep her grip on reality as everything she believed about safety and control begins to fall away.
