“It was one of those moments when you realize you've hit a new low—when the weight of your life choices topples you into some deep, unscalable pit.”
Laura Whitfield, Untethered: Faith, Failure, and Finding Solid Ground
tags: memoir

“The unfamiliar stirrings of liberty—and desire—took me by surprise. They didn't just appear overnight. They were much more cunning that that. They snuck in the back door of my soul and quietly took up residence.”
Laura Whitfield, Untethered: Faith, Failure, and Finding Solid Ground
tags: memoir

“The girl looking back at me was only vaguely familiar, as though she might be someone I'd passed on the street on a Tuesday afternoon.”

“The unfamiliar stirrings of liberty—and desire—took me by surprise. They didn't just appear overnight. They were much more cunning that that. They snuck in the back door of my soul and quietly took up residence.”

“What I didn't know was that grief is caustic. That it corrodes you from the inside out.”
Laura Whitfield, Untethered: Faith, Failure, and Finding Solid Ground

“While I put on my makeup each morning, I'd put on another face—the one I presented to the world. It was confident, self-assured. I hoped it would be convincing. In reality, I was fear-stricken. Afraid of the slightest misstep. I felt fragile. Vulnerable. If I could just keep up the facade, I thought, maybe I could fake my way through. That terrified girl underneath—would be a tightly held secret only I knew.”
