The Lustful Encounter
the Book
The Lustful Encounter
What happens when childhood pain follows you into adulthood?
In The Lustful Encounter, Dawnesha Coleman looks closely at the experiences that shaped her—from instability, neglect, and abandonment to the struggle for belonging, self-worth, and healthier relationships. Rather than leaving those experiences buried, she confronts how unresolved wounds can influence thoughts, emotions, choices, and relationships.
Throughout the book, personal reflection is joined by discussions of resilience, support systems, boundaries, self-acceptance, harmful relationship patterns, and personal growth. Readers are encouraged to consider their own inherited patterns, recognize what no longer serves them, and take meaningful steps toward change.
At its core, The Lustful Encounter is about refusing to let where you began determine where you must end.
