Missing My Becoming

Nia Testamark married young and, in a major city, seemed to be living the life she had dreamed of. Over the course of rushing toward that marriage, though, she lost several things that mattered deeply: her zest for living, her sense of independence, and her ability to see herself clearly. She tried to recover them inside the marriage, but the relationship ended in divorce.

What began as a painful separation became a path back to herself. The book follows that process and speaks directly to women who worry they have drifted from the person they were meant to become. Its central message is that reclaiming that self is still possible, however late it may seem.
