What Others Are Saying
“A powerful, unforgettable contribution to survivor literature.”
Like Poppies Do is a riveting memoir that reads in one sitting. Each chapter pulls the reader forward with intensity, vulnerability, and astonishing clarity. Chelsea Simpson traces her journey from victimhood to victory without sensationalism, crafting a narrative that is both deeply human and profoundly empowering.
Balancing pain with purpose, this book is not only a record of what was survived, but a testament to what can be reclaimed. Simpson emerges not simply as an author, but as a necessary voice in the larger conversation about trauma, healing, and rebirth.
— Dr. Karen Denise Alston, CA National Domestic Violence Certified Advocate
“I didn’t have to question if I belonged in that room — I knew I did.”
As I read Chelsea’s story, memories flooded back and I realized how much we shared. From escaping abuse with my children, to breaking generational curses, to struggling with self-worth and survival — it felt as though Chelsea had written my story.
Her transparency is powerful. She reminds us that we often lose ourselves, hide behind masks, and forget our own beauty. It takes resilience to say you have overcome. Standing before broken women and sharing your testimony says, Yes, I belong.
Well done, Chelsea.
— Melanie Mason
“Chelsea tells the story of 1 in 3 women — and shows there is a way out.”
Like Poppies Do is a story of survival and transformation. Chelsea’s vulnerability and honesty illuminate the difficult, messy reality of recovering from abuse. She does not sidestep the hard parts, but instead shares the steps she has taken to find her strength and her path forward.
After reading this book, I pray you find your inner strength. You are a survivor.

“I was in tears before finishing the prologue.”
What an emotional journey. The vulnerability and strength within these pages are palpable. The raw emotion is a reminder that there is light at the end of the tunnel — we just have to keep reaching for it.
Thank you for being brave enough to share your dark, so we can truly appreciate your glowing light.
