Save Some for Me

A single mother’s story of courage and resilience.

Could you survive an abusive man and raise five children alone?

When Susan’s marriage shattered, she was left facing a reality she never imagined, raising her children alone, healing from emotional and domestic turmoil, and rebuilding a life from the ground up. Save Some for Me is her honest, heart-opening memoir about stepping out of fear, reclaiming her voice, and daring to believe she deserved more.

With raw clarity and gentle wisdom with a touch of innocence or naiveté, Susan shares the painful unraveling of her relationship, the small victories that kept her going, and the unexpected strength she found in motherhood, friendship, and her own resilience. This is a story for every woman who has ever felt broken, silenced, or afraid and for anyone rebuilding after loss.

A heartwarming journey of survival, transformation, and hope, Save Some for Me reminds us that it’s never too late to choose yourself.

This was a brave, insightful, revealing, and very well written document of what must be one of the hardest experiences any person can go through. The courage and grace with which you tell this story all make this a truly affecting reading experience and I appreciate the fortitude it must have taken to write about this personal and sensitive topic.
