This debut collection is a courageous literary offering that blends poetry, short stories, and raw personal testimony.

Book Description
Black Ink: Ink-Stained Truths from a Bared Soul is not just a book; it’s an act of bravery. Beth Ryder invites readers into the depths of her personal history, writing with a voice that is both broken open and beautifully intact. With searing honesty, she recounts the emotional terrain of being adopted, surviving sexual abuse, navigating motherhood, and confronting generational trauma. Every page is soaked in resilience, revealing how storytelling can serve as both a mirror and a balm.
Ryder’s voice is uniquely her own, brutally honest, powerfully tender, and unapologetically human. This poetry collection speaks to those still finding their voice and affirms the power of writing as a means of survival and transformation.
Why This Book Matters
In an era where mental health conversations are rising but still too often hushed, Black Ink offers a fearless contribution. Ryder’s work does not shy away from the dark; it ventures into it, sits with it, and ultimately finds light within it. For survivors, for adoptees, for mothers, and for anyone who has ever felt silenced, this book is a resonant call to reclaim the narrative. It’s not just literature, it’s testimony.
More than personal storytelling, Black Ink functions as a collective catharsis. It challenges societal silence and offers readers a safe space to confront their own truths. The poetry and short stories are accessible, deeply human, and emotionally validating. At a time when connection is desperately needed, Beth Ryder permits readers to be whole, even when broken.
About the Author
Beth Ryder is a poet, storyteller, and survivor whose voice is forged through lived experience. A native of Virginia, Ryder writes with a rawness and clarity that stems from a life marked by adoption, trauma, and fierce determination to heal. Her work has been featured in Journey of Healing: Wisdom from Survivors of Sexual Abuse and in The Art of Surviving Sexual Violence, an exhibit by the Virginia Sexual & Domestic Violence Action Alliance.
When asked what inspired her to write this book, Ryder shares, “For years, I carried stories I was too afraid or too conditioned to tell. Writing became my way back to myself. I wrote Black Ink for the girl I once was, and for anyone who has ever felt invisible. This book says: You matter. Your truth matters. And you are not alone.”
In her deeply reflective and emotionally grounded work, Beth holds space for others to see themselves not as victims but as survivors. Black Ink is her debut collection and a deeply personal gift to a world in desperate need of compassion and truth.
