Emery Rival's "Finding Comfort Within the Chaos" is a collection of poetic testimonies exploring the author's journey of overcoming a turbulent childhood marked by addiction, homelessness, and mental illness. The book is dedicated to those who offered hope and support during challenging times, and it intends to be a source of comfort and resilience for readers facing similar struggles. Through raw and unfiltered poetry, Rival aims to provide a voice for those who feel alone, abandoned, or lost in the darkness of trauma and addiction. The collection is organized into chapters named after flowers that bloom in the dark, symbolizing the potential for growth and healing even in the most difficult circumstances. The poems cover a range of topics, including addiction, mental illness, love, loss, and the search for self-discovery, while offering insights and inspiration for those seeking sobriety and a healthier life. Ultimately, the book encourages readers to find beauty within chaos and to embrace their own power to bloom, regardless of their past.

The release date is May 2nd, 2025.
