Danyelle Cedar learns the answer to this question the hard way, never leaving her partner’s side through an endless cycle of relapse and recovery, holding desperately onto hope. And she battles her own addictions in her efforts to save her addiction to being needed, her addiction to success, her addiction to proving others wrong, and her addiction to love.
After accumulating and then unburying herself from an avalanche of debt, she opens a successful air-conditioning company, working hard and never giving up so that one day a perfect future might fall into place. She has their entire life planned out, and it is beautiful, until she is completely blindsided.
Dear Thomas is a series of letters sharing an inner journey of heartache, patience, physical and mental stress, betrayal, and surviving the most horrific and sometimes humorous experiences imaginable, all while supporting and saving someone incapable of love.
This book will suck you in, make you uncomfortable, frustrated, and finally free, just like Danyelle was when she went through the process of loving then learning to unlove a narcissistic addict. If you have ever spent time in Maui or Oahu it will also give you a chance to see those places in the context of this true story. It is an incredible book and a captivating read. You rock, Danyelle! #savage
No words can explain how real and raw this book is! It left me speechless. I lived through her pain, her heartache, every emotion she felt, I felt it all through her story. She is brave and fearless!
Such a raw and intense story written in a way that will keep you from putting the book down. Worth the read and the unique perspective on relationships and emotions.
