You didn't have to become this soft. But you did. And that makes you brave.
This is a record of survival.
A series of letters to the cycle-breakers.
A resting place for the ones who never got to rest.
In this collection of poetic reflections, affirmations, and heartbreakingly honest prose, Lulla Bee invites readers into the quiet, holy work of healing. Written during her journey as a foster mother, trauma survivor, and woman learning to become who she needed, this book holds space for every reader who has ever asked:
Why didn't they love me?
Will I ever stop hurting?
Can I give what I never got?
What if I stay... even when it hurts?
Through pages that read like both a whisper and a war cry, readers explore the sacred, exhausting, beautiful work of becoming:
The parent you never hadThis is for the ones grieving while they give
The ones who stayed
The ones who chose to rise
Whether you're rocking a baby at midnight, writing your own name back into your story, or learning how to hold yourself with tenderness for the first time, this book is a reminder that you are not broken, you are becoming.
