Part memoir, part prescriptive nonfiction, A Journey to Becoming the Best-Self combines personal narrative and practical advice to show how it is possible to find a place of acceptance and joy after losing a marriage. The word “divorce” itself has a negative connotation, and rightly so. It can be one of the most painful life-changing events in anyone’s life. An emotionally crippling event for many women, initially it was nothing less than devastating for me. However, it has been the most significant growth experience in my life. A Journey to Becoming the Best Self is the story of how a woman comes out on the other side of pain much stronger and more beautiful.

A Journey to Becoming the Best-Self is part memoir and part practical how-to guide about navigating divorce. The writing is warm and confidential, like a conversation with a friend. Bodden went through two divorces, the first ending a brief marriage when she was in her twenties and the second ending a ten-year marriage to a man with whom she shared a four-year-old daughter. Bodden’s description of how she became so immersed in her roles of wife, homemaker, and mother that she lost her sense of self would be familiar to many women. The book describes how she fought back from despair and financial hardship to achieve happiness and personal growth.
Sublime Line: “This is a book not just for women faced with divorce, but for anyone searching for meaning in their lives.”
