Author “This is a book not just for women faced with divorce, but for anyone searching for meaning in their lives.” –Sublime Book Review
Part memoir, part prescriptive nonfiction, A Journey to Becoming the Best-Self combines personal narrative and practical advice to show how it is possible to find a place of acceptance and joy after losing a marriage. The word “divorce” itself has a negative connotation, and rightly so. It can be one of the most painful life- changing events in anyone’s life. An emotionally crippling event for many women, initially it was nothing less than devastating for me. However, it has been the most significant growth experience in my life. A Journey to Becoming the Best Self is the story of how a woman comes out on the other side of pain much stronger and more beautiful. Press Contact [email protected]
