Confession Wall

I read Living With Shayla the night I was going to leave my partner. I stayed. We're still together.

The Unalive made me call my brother for the first time in three years. I didn't know what to say. I just said his name.

I gave Ordinary World to my therapist and said "this is what I can't say out loud." She read it before our next session. We cried together.

I named my daughter after a character in the Mary Series. She'll understand why when she's older. She already has her mother's stubborn grace.

Broken got me through chemo. I read it three times in the hospital. There's a copy on the nurses' station now. I left it there on purpose.

I've never cried at a book before. The Unalive broke that streak in chapter two. I sat in my car in a parking lot for forty minutes before I could drive home.
