Build the mantra you need right now.
When the author’s marriage breaks down after 16 years, she embarks on a journey of transformative learning. Sometimes heart-wrenching, sometimes celebratory but always ethereal, Mo’s testimony bears an examination of the emotional plane that everyone in a marriage should explore.
