Isla Rue
Isla Rue is the author of What Was Taken, What Remains, a deeply personal and lyrical memoir of survival, silence, and the rediscovery of voice. Writing under a pen name, Isla creates space for vulnerability, healing, and truth-telling—offering readers a hand to hold in their own journeys through trauma and transformation.
Raised in quiet places that held loud secrets, Isla turned to words when the world around her fell silent. Her writing explores the shadows of childhood, the resilience of the human spirit, and the subtle strength in choosing hope. With a voice that is both intimate and universal, Isla brings memory to the page with honesty and grace.
When she’s not writing, Isla finds comfort in the rhythm of nature, the stillness of early mornings, and the timeless wisdom of trees. She believes stories—especially the ones we are afraid to tell—hold the power to heal not only the storyteller, but also those who read them.
