Walking on eggshells is a life of the walking dead. For 34 years, Lauren Kinzie wrote down her feelings about life, her marriage, and what was happening in it and locked them away, never letting them rise to awareness. Until she completely stopped sleeping, and in desperation, during her 3 a. m. walks through her house, she read her own words. Every poem revealed the truth like a neon sign: Her marriage was already dead and had been for decades. What follows is the brutal and beautiful chronicle of the destruction and dissolution of a long term marriage, where there was all the love in the world, all the will to make it work on both sides, and nothing left but the memories, the lawyers, and the lessons:1) Doing the right thing for everyone else will eventually destroy your spirit, saving yourself is perfectly permissible, and sometimes you have to do the 1 thing everyone else is telling you is wrong to be alive and thrive. 2) the truth is our super-power. It unleashes the version of us that's powerful and confident, it releases us and everyone else.
