About the book:
Whether it’s a slow burn or a forest fire, Bree writes about the grueling yet beautiful experience of finding oneself. While on her path of self discovery, she struggled to find connection and community with those around her. This book is her mission to try to shed light onto the common yet individualistic experiences that are sexuality, religious trauma, divorce, and mental health. Although it may be scary to share, it’s always worth speaking her voice and having someone read the words and say to themselves “i’m not alone.”
