For Candy Leigh, author of Finding Life In Between, life had hit hard with a series of unrelenting jolts.
She was jobless, divorced, and reeling from both physical and emotional trauma. She felt alone, unsure of how to take any next steps. She felt she had failed as a mom and a human.
The truth is, many of us can relate to these feelings. Oftentimes we're too afraid or ashamed to confront our personal darkness or even ask for help. Candy was the same, wanting to somehow figure it all out on her own…and exhausted from trying to figure it out on her own.
One day in August, she got in her car and drove south, hoping to get lost for awhile and maybe, just maybe, find herself. What she thought would be a leisurely road trip to warmer weather became a long journey inward.
During her travels, Candy began to confront the emotional wounds she had long ignored.
Finding Life In Between is a real life example of the inner work we all can do to recover from life's traumas and reclaim our personal power and joy. In this memoir/self-help “journal,” Candy provides a sharp, vulnerable, authentic look at the real life pressures of modern day womanhood.
You will pivot from laughing to crying as you find yourself in the stories about the joys of parenting and the pain of loss, and you will be inspired to confront your own shadows and choose to live your beautifully imperfect life to its fullest.
