From Side Chick to Self: A Memoir of Betrayal, Reckoning & Rebirth

By J. Smith

She gave him her loyalty.
Her home. Her healing.
And just when it felt like life was finally unfolding with love and legacy, the truth unraveled everything.

When Jennifer walked down the aisle, she thought her past heartbreaks were behind her. But the universe had other plans-and they came with Facebook messages, hospital stays, emotional avalanches, and the cruel aftermath of betrayal that hits harder when you thought you'd escaped it.

This isn't just a story about infidelity.
It's a story about being blindsided and still standing.
About redefining love, rebuilding strength, and finding a voice louder than lies.

Through tattoos, tears, and turning points, Jennifer walks readers through her messy, magnificent evolution-from being chosen to choosing herself.

"I didn't write this to hurt anyone. I wrote it because I stopped hurting myself."
