Welcome — I'm Cidalisa De Braga
Writer. Memoirist. Storyteller of the quiet, ordinary moments that shape a life.
I write about love, resilience, forgiveness, and the unexpected ways life asks us to begin again. My stories come from real places—two countries, two languages, and one life that refused to stay small.
I'm glad you found your way here.
My debut memoir
This Time, I Stayed: A Memoir of Enduring Love — Available now
A story about returning—to love, to truth, and to the woman I was always becoming.
My next book
The Quiet Work of Becoming: Essays on Love, Healing, and Transformation
A collection of personal essays about the experiences that shaped me, the things I’ve carried, and the woman I’ve become along the way.
More stories are taking shape, too—memoir, letters, and poetry—all rooted in the same intention: to speak honestly and connect deeply.
