Our Story

Our story


We make learning exciting again.

Oak & Eau Publishing turns cutting-edge neuroscience into books you can't put down. Fresh, surprising looks at the topics you thought you knew, that leave you seeing the world differently.

Guided journals. Historical stories of place and people. Books on how the body works, so we can be better stewards of it. Each one is designed around how the mind actually learns, so what you read sticks, stays with you, and changes how you live. Real learning, none of the drag.

Los Angeles, CA. Built for books that matter.


Our first book

Our first book, The Bridge Forward, is a guided journal for the moms and dads who love their adult child but feel a distance, from a little tension to years of silence. It meets you right where you are and unlocks the steady, grounded presence already in you. That is what changes your relationship.

A year from now, you will feel it. More steady. Less at the mercy of how the last conversation went. The guilt you have carried, the kind you were never meant to hold this long, has loosened. The way you show up for your child has changed. That is what this year gives you.

Families are meant to find their way back to one another.

A note from the founderAngela, founder of Oak and Eau Publishing, holding The Bridge Forward journal

As a nurse, I sat with people at the very beginning of the parent and child bond, and years later at the other end of it. Underneath nearly every story was the same ache: a love that never left, and a distance nobody knew how to cross. I could not unhear it. So I built the path I kept wishing I could hand them.
