Whole in the Mirror
From Fractured Identity to Fierce Self-Acceptance
A Novella by RJ Jones
You Are Whole—Even When the World Says Otherwise

Alopecia can make you feel invisible. It can make you question your reflection, your worth, and your place in the world. But what if losing something you thought defined you was the very thing that set you free?
Whole in the Mirror is more than a novel. It is a journey—one of resilience, self-discovery, and the undeniable truth that beauty and strength come from within. Inspired by the real-life experiences of Cheryl Carvery-Jones, co-founder of AlopeciaWorld.com, this story is a tribute to every woman who has ever stood in front of a mirror and wondered if she was enough.
The Story That Will Stay With You
Talia Rivers is a talented photographer with a sharp eye for capturing raw, human moments—yet, when she discovers the first patch of missing hair on her scalp, she finds herself unable to truly see herself. As her alopecia progresses, so does her struggle with self-doubt, societal expectations, and a world that often equates beauty with hair.
Through heartbreak, self-reckoning, and an unshakable determination to reclaim her power, Talia embarks on a journey that will change not just how she sees herself but how others see her.
