Endorsements
One reviewer says of the book “it is the best thing to have when you’re going through a hard time, next to a session with your closest and most trusted girlfriends. It’ll make you laugh, cry, shake your head in agreement, and roll your eyes over a questionable decision you’ve made. But most of all, you’ll feel validated and comforted that at least someone out there struggles with the same things you do.”
Another reviewer says the book is a “beautiful reflection and confession of the pain, resilience, and hope the authors have walked. The pain of rejection, lost love, lost time, death, single motherhood, and more are laid out in this real, raw collection of experience and wisdom that will have you reading and re-reading as you dig deep and revisit your own hurts. I highly recommend this book for anyone on a healing journey who has loved and lost, lived through a traumatic event, or fought to overcome a pain that took over their whole being. Brava, ladies.”
