CARRIED

Finding Strength Through Every Season of Life

You know what it's like to be the strong one — the woman everyone calls when they need something, who shows up for everyone else while quietly wondering who's showing up for her. CARRIED is not another book telling you to try harder. It's the honest, unflinching story of a military spouse who lost everything in a single morning in September 2016 — and discovered, in the wreckage, that she had never actually been carrying her life alone. You were never meant to carry it all. You were meant to be carried.

"She reminded me that if I didn't like the story I was living, I had the power to change it."
