Morgan thought love was sacrifice.
Patience. Forgiveness. Staying-no matter how much it hurt.
By the time she became a young mother, Morgan already knew how to survive disappointment. What she had never learned was the difference between being loved and simply being needed.
Over the years, three relationships shape everything she believes about love.
The first teaches her how easily affection can become control.
The second feels like the future she has always wanted-until the cracks reveal wounds she never expected.
The third offers something entirely different: patience, steadiness, and safety. But after years of learning that love always comes with pain, trusting something good may be the hardest thing Morgan has ever done.
Spanning years of motherhood, heartbreak, loss, and healing, The Weight of Being Loved is an emotional contemporary women's fiction novel about the relationships that shape us, the stories we accept about our worth, and the courage it takes to begin again.
Heartbreaking, hopeful, and deeply human, Morgan's story explores emotional abuse, trauma recovery, grief, self-discovery, and the frightening vulnerability of finally being loved without having to lose herself.
Because sometimes the hardest thing to carry isn't heartbreak.
It's believing you are worthy of love when it finally arrives.
