Dear BC,
First off, thank you for the tears and the profound journey through your words.
This book is a sanctuary for women who have endured the storms of abuse, providing a place where they can be seen, understood, and mourn—a mourning not born out of weakness, but a testament to the courage it takes to embrace the next step, even when it is shrouded in uncertainty.
The genuine and raw nature of falling in love is captured beautifully in your narrative, where vulnerability becomes a gateway to self-discovery and healing. It’s in this tender space that readers find a reflection of their own experiences, transforming pain into strength.
A line like, "Maybe some people aren't meant to be happy, maybe some people are meant to be heartbroken," resonates deeply, urging readers to clutch their pillows tighter as they softly cry themselves to sleep. Such poignant words linger long after the page is turned.
BC, you have a remarkable ability to touch the heart and resonate with the human spirit. You speak to the essence of what it means to be a woman, illuminating that extraordinary resilience that defies the simplistic question: "Why would you stay?" This book beautifully exemplifies the strength it takes for a woman to leave, showcasing that even in moments of perceived weakness, she is at her strongest, her bravest.
Your narrative gracefully identifies the complex beauty of grief and how it drives one to love others deeply, sometimes at the expense of self-care. Each chapter's words align with key milestones, painting a vivid portrait of the journey to self-reclamation.
And those delightful nods to nostalgic treasures, like the mention of "Smart House," serve as a charming introduction to cherished memories, adding layers of relatability and warmth.
Thank you for reminding us that we are, indeed, beautiful.
