Letters to Boys is a healing journey Life, love and relationships mark us - sometimes indelibly. It is only through understanding those scars, through revisiting the pain and celebrating the beautiful lost moments that we are reborn and remade. If we can start to tell our stories, to use our voices, and to listen to each other, we can reconcile our rifts to come to a new place of understanding and transcendence. On the verge of my 35th birthday, just after achieving my 8th year of marriage, my life blew up. As a mother of two, a wife, an accomplished professional, a worship leader at my church, and an entrepreneur, I suddenly found myself the victim of a bizarre sexual assault. It disrupted my whole world. It rattled my sense of self, challenged my concept of security and wholeness, and shook me to the core. As I started to pick up the pieces, I realized that this event was so powerful and significant it had the potential to break up a shell I had unconsciously built around myself.

It threatened (promised) to tear down the tower of external definitions of who I thought I was supposed to be, which I had created over years and years without really stopping to consider the choices I was making along the way. This is my journey, in letters.
