For the ones who were told to ""be strong""... and had no choice but to be.
What happens when life hands you grief, betrayal, single motherhood, and impossible expectations, all before you're even old enough to rent a car? You adapt. You break. You rebuild.
Fragile Reflections is a deeply honest, Southern-rooted story about one woman growing up between two households after divorce, learning early that love isn't always safe, and that survival often comes long before healing. From first love to first heartbreak, from balancing work and motherhood to navigating blended families and boundaries, this book captures the quiet moments no one sees. The ones that shape us most.
If you've ever:
- Been the ""responsible one"" long before you were ready - Loved someone who didn't show up the way you needed - Carried the weight of a family while pretending you were fine - Felt guilty for wanting more than just survival
...this story will feel like someone finally put your unspoken memories into words.
Told with raw vulnerability and sharp wit, Fragile Reflections isn't a tale of tragedy. It's a testament to resilience born from everyday battles. It's about setting boundaries, choosing yourself, and rewriting your own definition of family.
Not a victim narrative. A reclamation.
For readers of It Ends With Us, Where the Crawdads Sing, and Demon Copperhead... this one's for you.
Some stories entertain you. This one sits with you. Ready?
