Goodreads asked Yvette Bodden:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Yvette Bodden Part memoir, part prescriptive nonfiction, A Journey to Finding 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. This is the story of how a woman comes out on the other side of pain much stronger and more beautiful.
