Welcome — I’m Cidalisa De Braga (but you can call me Lisa)

Writer • Memoirist • Storyteller of the quiet, ordinary moments that shape a life.

Thank you for visiting my little corner of the internet.
My writing grows from real life — love, loss, endurance, and the choices that change us. I believe stories connect us, soften us, and help us find our way back to ourselves. I’m glad you’re here.

Upcoming Book

This Time, I Stayed: A Memoir of Enduring Love
To be released April 2026

A story about returning — to love, to truth, and to the woman I was always becoming. It’s a memoir of sacrifice, hope, and the courage to choose a life that feels like home.

Future books - I’m currently working on several projects that explore love, resilience, motherhood, and becoming.
You can read more about them here in the Books & Projects tab.
