Dear You: Letters of Love, Gratitude, and Redemption

By Shedelle Davis

Life is about growth, not perfection, or being right. "Dear You: Letters of Love, Gratitude & Redemption" is about self-discovery and being honest about who you are and the person you hope to become despite past traumas, mistakes, and generational normalcies. In the book, the author talks about a horrific trauma she survived and how the untreated depression caused a snowball effect of bad decisions and reckless behavior. It is a collection of thirteen letters to the people who helped shape her healing journey. So often in the black family, mental health is overlooked. Black women are often burdened with carrying the torch of the "strong black woman," and the men are born into a stigma that they sometimes die trying to shed. The author outlines how both scenarios significantly impacted the person she was and the woman she is becoming.
