One woman's journey to full-bodied spiritual empowerment in a world of trauma and hardship.
By the age of ten, Felicity has already been dubbed a troublemaker by her family--a family that is wild, dysfunctional, and characterized by a constant Lord of the Flies-esque sense of feast-or-famine. This dysfunction culminates in Felicity witnessing her father attempting to kill her mother, and this event lays a firm foundation for what Felicity expects of the men in her life: unpredictability and mixed messages about what love really is. Hardened by her experiences and accepting of the notion that love is more like war than anything else, Felicity enters adulthood wary of the world around her, and finds herself in a toxic marriage where she constantly bears the brunt of her husband's alcoholism and abuse. Broken-spirited and passive, she sails through life asking herself, Is this really it?
It is only when her parents unexpectedly pass away that Felicity feels spurred to make a promise to herself: no longer will she accept this life of emptiness and heartache and continue the cycle of generational trauma that tainted her own childhood. Instead, she will commence a journey of self-healing and independence, and become the most glorious, self-actualized version of herself.
Escaping in the middle of a snowstorm with her seven-year-old son in tow, Felicity begins to rebuild her life, piece by piece, and paves the way for a future she was taught to think impossible. Her mission is clear: she will heal her wounds and design a reality that allows for peace, happiness, and constant spiritual growth.
Humorous and vivacious as it is candid and vulnerable, Pieces of Me documents Felicity Nicole's admirable yet deeply relatable life story with vivid clarity: the highs and lows; the dreams and downfalls; the traumas and triumphs. Her memoir singlehandedly debunks the myth that there is a point of no return in life and champions the message that your life and healing is entirely within your control-and can be turned around at any given moment.
