Where the River Flows

More about the book

Where the River Flows offers a heartfelt and poetic exploration of the author's journey following her divorce, driven by a relentless quest to understand the question that haunted her daily: "Why?" She grapples with her perceived failures in love, unresolved trauma, and mental health struggles, pondering whether her husband's impatience and lack of understanding contributed to their separation. As she spirals into depression, her struggles with bingeing and purging resurface, alongside intense suicidal urges. In moments of despair, she reflects on her husband's poignant observation that their marriage felt like it included her Eating Disorder, which seemed to hold more of her affection than he did. This memoir serves as a beacon for those grappling with similar issues—be it Eating Disorders, trauma, depression, anxiety, or the pain of divorce and grief. Through her candid narrative, the author aims to connect with readers, reminding them that they are not alone in their struggles.
