Who I was before
(Book)

In the quiet facade of suburban perfection, Tess appears to have it all: a doting husband, an active role in the PTA, and a life filled with domestic duties. Beneath the surface, however, she's crumbling. After years of subsisting on toast crusts and cold coffee, she's lost herself in the whirlwind of motherhood. One day, she does the unthinkable-she runs away. Tess escapes to a small town where she finds refuge in a charming bed and breakfast. With the help of Betty, the wise and nurturing owner, she begins the painstaking process of piecing her fragmented soul back together. But as Tess heals, a storm of uncertainty brews back home. Can her husband Jack forgive her for abandoning their family? Will the new Tess find a place in the life she left behind? Embark on a heart-wrenching journey of self-discovery and redemption, as one woman dares to step away from the life she's known to find her true self, and in the process, risks losing everything she's ever loved.--,From publisher.
