5.0 out of 5 stars A real guide to starting over with strength and purpose
This book is about finding stability in your own pace, even when everything else falls apart. From the start, its clear that is deeply personal. The section describing the authors loss of a business, identity, and support system was painful but powerful. I was especially struck by the moment where she said losing her job felt like losing her distinctiveness.That point strongly resonated with me because I went through something similar after being laid off in 2020. I had built my life around a job that vanished overnight, and like the author, I didn't just lose income; I lost my sense of purpose. Reading her reflections on isolation, pride, and praying through silence reminded me I wasn't alone. This book gave me more than just comfort; it showed me how to move forward without bitterness, with quiet strength.
