What do you do when everything falls apart at once?
Cara was doing her best to hold it together — raising young kids, watching her husband lose his battle with brain cancer, and sitting with her mother as dementia slowly took her away. Oh, and she was also wrestling with the anxiety and religious trauma she'd been quietly carrying since childhood. There was no good time for any of this. It all happened at once.
Sanctuary is the book she wrote on the other side of it.
This isn't a book that ties everything up neatly. It's a raw, honest memoir from a woman who fought hard to become a safe place for herself and her kids — even when she had no idea how to do that. Cara shares what she actually tried, what helped, and what didn't. She talks about therapy, medication, faith deconstruction, and the slow, unglamorous work of rebuilding a life.
If you've ever felt like you were failing at grief, you need to read this book.
Inside, you'll find:
Sanctuary is for anyone who's ever needed permission to fall apart — and a guide for finding their way back.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Life's struggles often come in layers, don't they It's rarely just one thing-it's a tangled web of issues, problems, and past hurts, all intertwined. But amidst this complexity, whether you're facing anxiety, grief, or the weight of childhood wounds, this book offers a perspective on what it's like untangling the knots and finding solace. In the face of life's toughest challenges, one woman found herself drowning in grief and anxiety. Amid the turmoil of her mother's fading memory and her husband's battle with terminal illness, she began wrestling with big questions of life and desperately seeking a safe shelter for her young children. But within the darkness, she discovered a surprising source of strength-imperfection and humanity. Finding solace in acceptance, she unlocked a sanctuary within herself, offering comfort not just for her, but for her children as well. Sanctuary isn't just a book-it's an invitation to embrace imperfection, set boundaries, and rewrite your own story. If you're on a journey of empowerment and growth, let Sanctuary be a guide, showing you that change is possible even through the darkest times and that life, though forever different, can still be good.
