Niki Bonfield

Two books about coming home to yourself.

Written by someone who lived it first and now sits with others while they do.

Fragmented Yet Whole cover

Fragmented Yet Whole

Embracing neurodivergence, healing and self-discovery

Life isn't meant to be easy.

This poetic and reflective memoir traces the journey of a woman who spent much of her life feeling different, overwhelmed and unseen, until a late autism diagnosis reframed everything. Through raw recollections, quiet reckonings and deeply human moments, Niki invites readers into the rich, complex inner world she once tried to hide.

From childhood confusion to a therapy experience that fractured trust, from mental health struggles to finding her voice as a therapist, this is a story of what it means to come home to yourself, slowly and painfully, but with grace. Writing became part of healing. So did the truth.

For those who feel too much, question too often or wonder if they're the only ones, this book is for you. You're not alone. You're not broken. And healing is still possible.

Becoming Me, Neurodivergently cover

Becoming Me, Neurodivergently

A memoir of unmasking, belonging and becoming

I spent a lifetime trying to fit in. Now I'm learning how to belong to myself.

What does it mean to become yourself when the world has only ever known your mask?

In this follow-up to Fragmented Yet Whole, I return with a raw, honest and deeply human memoir about growing up misunderstood, surviving systems that were not built for me and slowly learning to trust my own voice.

Through stories of childhood masking, therapy ruptures, sensory overwhelm, motherhood, advocacy and the quiet work of healing, it explores what it means to belong. Not by fitting in, but by finally allowing yourself to exist as you are.

Tender, vulnerable and fiercely hopeful, it's an invitation to anyone who has ever felt out of place: you are not alone. You were never the problem.
