The D Word takes you on an intimate journey into the psyche of an empathic woman who questions the life she was taught to want. Rooted in the invisible conditioning of religion, family dynamics, and cultural expectations, it is a story of self-abandonment disguised as love, and the slow realization that sacrificing yourself to be "good," "loving," or "worthy" quietly erodes who you are.
Before being able to shake off people-pleasing patterns, the heroine must face her unconscious desire to over-give, over-function, and disappear inside a marriage in order to be loved and accepted. But facing patterns is only the beginning. Will she build up the courage to speak up and take responsibility for her own life?
Written with striking vulnerability and gossip-worthy emotional honesty, The D Word is both a mirror and a companion for anyone who has ever wondered if they are living their own life or someone else's script.
