Before the vows, before the rings, and before the years spent trying to turn survival into love, Kristina already sensed the truth. She simply was not ready to listen to it.
In this candid memoir, Kristina traces the road from a headstrong childhood through two marriages, motherhood, grief, control, courtrooms, and the long work of rebuilding. With honesty and hard-earned wisdom, she examines why we sometimes remain where we are disappearing-and what it takes to finally leave.
I Knew Before I Said "I Do" is not merely a story about divorce. It is a story about intuition, survival, protecting the people you love, and learning that peace is not surrender.
For every woman who has questioned herself, stayed too long, carried too much, or wondered whether starting again was possible, this is a reminder: sometimes the person you must finally trust is yourself.
