If you're exhausted from being everyone's first call, last priority, and most reliable ""yes"—this book is the reset you've been needing.
Say "No" Without Sorry isn't another self-help book telling you to "just set boundaries" without showing you how? It's a practical, deeply human guide for anyone who has ever apologized for a decision they had every right to make—especially with the people who are hardest to say no to: family.
Inside, you'll discover:
Why guilt shows up the second you say no—and how to let it pass without caving
The real reason you over-explain every choice (and why one sentence beats five)
Word-for-word scripts for family guilt trips, angry reactions, tears, and repeated pushback
How to hold a boundary with parents, siblings, and in-laws without blowing up the relationship
The difference between kindness and self-abandonment—and how to finally tell them apart
A simple daily practice to stay boundary-aware for life, without burning out
Through honest, relatable stories and clear, usable tools, you'll learn how to protect your time, your energy, and your peace—without the guilt, the over-explaining, or the three-paragraph apology you don't actually owe anyone.
This isn't about becoming cold, distant, or difficult. It's about becoming someone who trusts her own decisions enough to let them stand on their own—no defense required.
You are allowed to disappoint people. You are allowed to protect your peace. And "no" really is a complete sentence.
If you're ready to stop justifying, stop over-explaining, and start living without the apology—this book will show you exactly how.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
