and then try to put it down. This is a page-turning narrative that
exposes physical and emotional shrapnel, relayed with un!inching and
poetic honesty. Through her woven re!ection on loving a veteran and
mourning the loss of her father, Delory attains a rare and sharp beauty,
laced with humor and hard-won wisdom." - SONYA HUBER, AUTHOR OF PAIN

is a riveting true story of how #erce honesty and enduring love can
heal immeasurable challenges. " - EUGENIA KIM, AUTHOR OF THE KINSHIP OF
SECRETS
"Alicia Delory bleeds through the page in this stunning, emotional
memoir. She does so effortlessly, without seeking pity or needing to
apologize. What she creates is a blunt, honest, and at times
heart-wrenching look at millennial marriage." -- REUBEN "TIHI" HAYSLETT,
AUTHOR OF DARK CORNERS, BEST OF 2019
