Porch Confessions: A Map To Becoming

By Riley Tate

Some wisdom can't be taught. It has to be earned.

Porch Confessions is a collection of essays written from the other side of the hard things. Divorce. Cancer. Estrangement. Grief. Love that didn't come back the way it left. A screen porch in the American South where a woman finally sat still long enough to meet herself.

Riley Tate isn't writing from a mountaintop. She's writing from the trail. Just a little further down the path than some, still walking, still becoming. These are the things she learned that nobody taught her. About programming disguised as personality. About love that doesn't require reciprocity to be real. About capacity, and grace, and what safe actually feels like when your nervous system finally stops bracing.

This book won't fix everything. But it might help you avoid some of the hurt.

No mud, no lotus.
