Jaida Schupp

Inspired by true events, this is a story of survival, silence, and the fierce choice to love anyway.

 

When Claire asks her grandmother to share the truth of her past, Veronica opens the door to decades of pain, resilience, and hard-won healing. From a childhood marked by trauma to building a life with nothing but hope and grit, Veronica’s story is raw, real, and unforgettable.

 

Told across generations, Dancing Through Storms is a moving portrait of what it means to break cycles, reclaim your voice, and create a legacy of strength. For anyone who’s ever wondered if they were strong enough to survive, this story is for you.

 

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is keep going.

Jaida Schupp writes stories rooted in truth, healing, and the unshakable belief that we are not what happened to us-we are what we choose to become.
