“A fearless memoir of love, solitude, and emotional alchemy—told in letters both sent and unsent. Rebelleheart is not about what happened, but what moved. It’s a poetic record of living wide open, loving without a map, and walking yourself home, one unflinching step at a time.”

About Rebelleheart

This is not a book about a relationship. It’s a memoir told through one.

Rebelleheart was never planned—it was lived. Written in the raw, luminous space between presence and absence, these letters, reflections, and moments emerged during a love that was anything but conventional. It was a catalyst. A mirror. A call to strip naked to oneself.

Most of what fills this book was written in real time—while loving, longing, cracking open. Some letters were sent, many not. Others came years later, when silence settled and something deeper asked to be born. Not a documentation, but a deep remembering. Not a story of “what happened,” but of what moved, what shattered, what remained.

Though shaped from one intimate journey, Rebelleheart defies boundaries of time, space, and genre. It lives between memoir and meditation, between poetry and presence. It invites anyone who has ever burned for truth, for beauty, for love in its wildest and most tender form—to walk alongside.

This is not a map. There is no neat resolution. But there is something universal here—inside this very particular path.

A woman, writing herself into being.

DANIEL - Pre-Reader

“I couldn’t stop reading. I read it through in one sitting.

Being far from some ususal 'marshmallow literature', it's magnificent and it brought everything back, vividly.”

LUCIA - Pre-Reader

“ This book is not a book, it’s a tremor. Raw, tender, true. It’s a trace. A pulse. A breathing space between wound and wonder.
Rebelleheart reads like a remembering—of what we often abandon too quickly: our sensitivity, our fire, our dignity in the midst of collapse.
I didn’t become a reader, I became a companion on a path that doesn’t smooth things over, but shakes us awake.
Karin doesn’t write to please—she writes to live. And she lets us burn with her—gently and wildly at once. Unfiltered.
Rebelleheart is a brave, unvarnished YES to life.
To all that is—and all that is not.”

Author’s Note

Rebelleheart began as real-time letters—raw, intimate, unsent or sent across the space of a love that defied categories. Ten years later, I returned to those writings. What I found was not just a story between two people, but a deep recognition of what it means to be human—flawed, wild, tender, alive. This book is not a performance of love; it is a lived act of it. I share it now because I believe vulnerability can be a bridge, and that our most personal stories—when told honestly—can become unexpectedly universal.
