The Surgery Season

Recovery is its own season, and nobody hands you a map for it. This journal walks the sixty days after major surgery with you: the slow body, the hard nights, the help you have to accept, the small wins nobody else can see, and the woman you are becoming on the other side of the incision. One short reading and one honest question a day, with full permission to rest. In paperback or hardcover on Amazon, or as a fillable digital edition on Payhip and Etsy.
