After a near-death experience, Bridget Harris found herself searching for purpose, expecting an immediate, big revelation. Instead, she remained in the same job, the same relationship, stuck in old patterns. As she approached 40, she realized change was no longer optional… it was essential.
Her transformation began not with a grand plan, but with surrender—letting go of expectations of how she thought her life should be and embracing the unpredictable life unfolding before her. What followed was a series of profound, unexpected changes that reshaped her world.
With raw honesty and vulnerability, Bridget invites readers into her story: walking away from a 20-year relationship, rediscovering love with a high school sweetheart, becoming a stepmother before experiencing motherhood herself, finding her place in a blended family, navigating fertility struggles, and enduring the heartbreaking loss of a loved one.
She explores the tension of life’s bittersweet contradictions—gratitude and grief, joy and frustration, holding on and letting go. Her journey reveals the power of surrender and the hidden beauty in life’s messiest moments.
For anyone seeking purpose, balance, or the courage to embrace life’s unpredictable twists and turns, this book offers a heartfelt reminder: two opposing emotions can coexist, and sometimes, the only way to move forward and find peace is to let go.
