You don't have to suffer in silence.

Not anymore.

You just found out your husband has been watching pornography. Your world feels like it's falling apart. Your heart is shattered. Now what?

Do you hide the hurt and pretend like it never happened-hoping his desire goes away? Or do you risk humiliation, the questions and tell someone?

Jody Allen knows exactly what that moment feels like. The confusion. The betrayal. The shame. Hidden Heartache was born from the raw pages of her own journey through her husband's pornography addiction. It's the help she desperately needed when her world turned upside down.

Hidden Heartache is a practical guide for a journey you never wanted to take. But you don't have to walk it alone. With deep compassion, unwavering honesty, and a smidge of humor, Jody will help you discover how to:

Express your emotions in a way that creates clarity and conversation Silence shame so it no longer dictates your decisions Process your pain through the lens of biblical truth Take brave steps toward healing-no matter the outcome

This is more than a book. It's a lifeline. A friend sitting next to you whispering, ""You're not alone. You can do this. You will get through this.""

It's time to stop hiding. Let this be your first brave step toward hope and healing.

Jody's authentic story allows you to feel like you have a best friend, yet expert to guide you through your own process for healing and hope. -Lisa Allen, certified life coach, speaker No one wants to talk about pornography. It's vile and destructive. It is also a powerful addiction that destroys people and devastates relationships. It is time for this emotional cancer to be brought into the light and faced head on.

Author, Jody Allen, shares raw and vulnerable stories anchored in the truth of Scripture and the redemptive power of God's love.

There is hope for the hurting! -Melissa, reader In a world where pornography is SO easily accessible, and considered ""normal and harmless"", this book could not be more timely.
