Lotus Love
Available on Amazon:
A Sanctuary for the Child You Once Were
Lotus Love is a reflective healing journal created for the parts of you that learned to survive quietly.
Through gentle reflection, poetic storytelling, and therapeutic insight, this book invites readers to reconnect with the younger selves who carried more than they should have.
Written by therapist and author Avis D. Lawrence, LCSW, Lotus Love offers a compassionate path back to the inner child — the quiet one, the strong one, the wise one who learned to bloom without being watered.
Like the lotus flower rising from the mud, this book honors the truth that beauty and resilience can grow from even the most difficult beginnings.
The Archetypes of the Inner Child
Lotus Love explores seven tender archetypes that many of us carry within:
• The Quiet Wildflower – the sensitive child who learned to stay small
• The Self-Raised Child – the one who learned independence too early
• The Dreamer – the imaginative child who escaped through wonder
• The Protector Child – the one who became strong for everyone else
• The Silenced One – the child whose voice was not heard
• The Soft One – the child who loved deeply and felt everything
• The Wise Child – the inner guide who survived and still knows the way home
Each archetype helps readers understand how their early experiences shaped the person they became.

A Gentle Reminder
Lotus Love is not a book about fixing yourself. Lotus Love is the first installment of "The Lineage Series: The Four Houses of Becoming" & explores how childhood patterns shape the identities people carry into adulthood—and how those identities evolve through connection, self‑awareness, and emotional courage. Each book introduces a “named self,” a part of the psyche formed early in life to protect, adapt, or survive, and follows them as they learn to understand, challenge, and integrate these internal roles.
It is about remembering who you were before the world asked you to become someone else. For readers ready to stop surviving — and begin returning home.
