Helen wanted to break the cycle she was born into.
Raised in the deserts of Southern California by a family plagued with addiction, poverty, and trauma, Helen’s life was full of heartache and turmoil. Nevertheless, her circumstances fueled her desire to make it out. That was until one day, she broke.
When Helen wakes up in a mental hospital, her mind is shattered, her memories are gone, and she clings to the comfort of not remembering. But, when a memory of her daughter emerges, Helen realizes she has no choice but to unearth the painful truth and face her past.
Through dual timelines, readers will be immersed in the intricate tapestry of Helen’s life, gradually unraveling the events that led to her broken state.
Untitled for Now captures the difficulty of breaking chains, the essence of mother/daughter relationships, grief, and finding forgiveness for yourself. It is a novel for those who revel in the lived experiences of others and want to know that even the saddest stories can have a happy ending.

When Desiree Moore decided to write a book based on her life story, she struggled to determine where to begin and end. However, after a chance encounter with a long-forgotten friend, Desiree realized her memories were not all intact, and she was inspired to create Helen-a woman with dissociative amnesia. Desiree used Helen as a vessel to tell her story about being raised by addicts, teen pregnancy, child loss, and the overwhelming guilt she has carried with her through life. Although a work of fiction, this story is the most honest thing Desiree has ever done. Desiree Moore spent nearly a decade honing her craft, writing short stories, poetry, and pieces that reflect the many facets of her being. Her work reflects her lived experiences and the many people who have touched her life.Desiree holds a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts from Colorado State University and a Master of Humanities from Tiffin University. Through her writing, she hopes to foster empathy within her readers and bring awareness to complex topics and issues.
