The Woman Who Stayed
A woman who had demanded truth and received it, imperfectly and at cost, but received it nonetheless.
A woman who had reclaimed a business that had always been hers in substance and was now hers in acknowledgment too.
A woman who had taught her son something about what accountability looked like by living it in front of him rather than just speaking about it.
A woman who had found, in the wreckage of a marriage nearly destroyed, the parts of herself that the marriage had slowly worn away.
