Testimonials

Expressions of the heart are not easy. The author effortlessly puts a voice to that expression in a relatable and elevated way. A must read for anyone searching for growth and truth.

-Gina

Utterly moving and hitting close to home and the heart, Alecia Page knows just what to say to evoke visceral emotions with her work. To have an author say things that feel like they are out of your own mind and heart is insanity in the best way. I will forever and always be a fan of her work.

-A

Heartwarming, endearing, and soul drenching words, this author brings it home to that safe space where the mind meets the heartstrings.

-Kat

For Ashley:

who never stopped reminding me this book would come,

who’s read everything I’ve ever written,

and who is the most incredible friend a girl could ask for.

You are loved.
