“I didn’t just survive without my mother. I flourished in the presence of gentle men.”

In this heartfelt memoir, I invite you into the most sacred spaces of my life—where masculine love didn’t dominate, but healed. Through the steady presence of my father, the quiet devotion of my husband, and the full-circle joy of raising my son, I uncover what it truly means to be held, seen, and protected without losing myself.

In the Presence of Gentle Men is a soft and powerful tribute to the men who stayed. It’s a story of survival, legacy, and learning how to embrace the divine feminine after a lifetime of carrying strength alone.

Told with honesty, grace, and emotional depth, this memoir explores:

• The healing bond between a daughter and her father

• The steady love of a husband who shows up without needing the spotlight

• The pride of watching a son become everything you prayed for

• The grief of what was lost, and the joy of what remained

For every woman who had to be strong before she felt safe…
For every man who loved quietly but deeply…
And for every reader who knows that healing isn’t just about letting go—
it’s about letting love in.
