About The Book
The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
Those fragments became this book. Inside, you will find no lessons, no advice, no promises. You will find the voice of a woman who stopped making herself small. You will find the ache of losing a best friend in the same moment you lost a love. You will find the peculiar agony of a razor scooter to the ankle as a child compared to the lies and broken promises of adulthood. You will find a dog named Emma who stayed when nothing else did. You will find a mother who is strong and beautiful and finally hearing those words.
This book moves from immobilizing heartbreak to the first fragile breath of reclamation. It ends in something truer, a hope, a woman learning to like herself again.
For anyone who has ever woken up and had to pretend the world was not falling apart. For anyone grieving someone still alive. For anyone rebuilding from scratch. This book sits beside you. It does not try to fix you. It just says, I have been here too.
