behind the memoir
Behind every story lies another story — the quiet moments, the questions that lingered, and the lessons that kept unfolding long after the pages were written.
Behind the Memoir is where I gather the reflections, memories, small windows into daily life, and unseen layers that shaped the journey of writing My Dyslexic Husband.
It’s a space for the questions I carried, the lessons I’m still learning, the fleeting moments that ground me, and the stories that didn’t fit neatly inside the book but still shaped its heart.
If you’re walking your own journey through love, learning, or letting go — I hope you find something here that reminds you you’re not alone.
