PREORDER: Adored: Part One (this book is a pre-order and is expected to ship by late October)

She hoped becoming an artist would set her free.

She never expected freedom would begin with surrender.

In the quiet ache of new motherhood and the distant glimmer of old dreams, Elizabeth wrestles with the life she's built and the girl she used to be. Her story weaves through time-childhood promises, family legacy, tender betrayals, and a love that never runs out-as she comes face-to-face with the question at the root of it all: What does it mean to be adored?

Like a diamond drawn from the deep and cut by time, Elizabeth's becoming will be neither fast nor easy. But before she can become who she was created to be, she'll have to grapple with everything she believed she needed to be loved. And begin to receive the love that was already there.

Told with wry honesty, lyrical imagery, and a painter's eye for beauty in the breaking, Adored: Part I begins a story of identity, longing, faith, and the sacred work of remembering who you are-and who you belong to.

For any woman who has ever stood at the edge of her own life and wondered if it was too late to return to the art of being herself-this is for you.
