Writing toward clarity, not certainty.

​

I’m Gemma Naturkach, a writer living in North Carolina with my husband, daughter, and son.

​

I write about what’s complicated...identity, trauma, culture, belief, memory. The things we inherit and the ones we choose.

 

Some of that becomes books.

​

Some becomes essays.

 

Some just sits quietly for a while.

​

My first book, Surviving Patriotism, is about loyalty, silence, and the weight of being American.

It’s personal and political, but mostly honest.

​

I’m not building a brand. I’m paying attention.

I write when I have something to say.
