Sarah May on Her Memoir "She Journeys"

Babes in Bookland

Show Notes

What does it take to finally name the thing that happened to you?

Sarah is the author of She Journeys, a memoir about a military marriage that devolved into betrayal, a helicopter crash, and years of numbness before she could even recognize her own trauma for what it was. We talk about leaving an abusive relationship, the therapist who validated her martial rape, rebuilding faith on her own terms, and the solo road trip across the country that became the beginning of an entirely different life.

Share this one with the friend who's in the in-between place after a loss, and the friend who needs to hear that starting over is possible, even when it feels impossible.
