"A must-read for any woman facing the path of begin again" ―Marnie Woodrow, author of Heyday

Build the mantra you need right now.

When the author’s marriage breaks down after 16 years, she embarks on a journey of transformative learning. Sometimes heart-wrenching, sometimes celebratory but always ethereal, Mo’s testimony bears an examination of the emotional plane that everyone in a marriage should explore.

From the shock of discovery of deconstruction through to the easement of rehoming, Radiant White Light brings us through a divorce to the tenderness of vulnerability and displacement, under the waters of forgiveness and finally to a place where life will never be the same.

For those walking through the unknown of separation, this memoir offers clarity, courage, and the comfort of shared experience.

From the book:

i breathed deeply and threw the contents of my suitcase
on the floor in a grand gesture. suddenly there it was―
the journal i thought was lost.
my examination of divorce culture: the poetry,
the bright lights, the takeaways, the guideposts.

radiant.
white.
light.

the book’s pink cover glittered with golden stars.
daydreams. my words, the story, my testimony.
it had been with me all along.
