The Story Behind This Book
Alice Miles had learned a long time ago not to question her lot in life. Her single duty was tending the to needs of her husband and daughter, doing whatever it took to keep her family together. But a tragic altercation and unexpected inheritance forces Alice to take a hard look at her life, revealing to her for the first time the weight wrapped around her birth. This naked confrontation with her family history—a legacy of abuse, violence, and misogyny—sets Alice on the road towards freedom as she fights to break the chain of cruelty and step into the sun with arms and soul wide open. While unashamed to celebrate who she truly is, she discovers that her battle isn't just for herself but for her daughter and all generations to come. Now, Alice knows she must defeat her past or risk forever ruining her family's future.
