Choosing Better, Not Bitter: Strength through Struggles

“This is a book that I will read over and over again. I wish I had this book when I was going through very painful times in my life. This author knows how to write in a way that makes you feel like she’s talking to you. The insight is so valuable and I can relate to it so much. I’ve been through many family things and my husband has always been my rock. The things my husband did to help me are written in this book. But to read it in print and to have it on hand is also very helpful. Thank you, Bailey, for your open and honest words that will touch so many people’s hearts and lives.”

“It’s amazing how we not only can have individual experiences, but also many of the same characteristics. Bailey’s words feel like they were taken directly from my head and my heart. Hearing that someone else has been through the same emotions and stumbling blocks that I have really helped me. None of us are alone in this and Bailey reminds us all that we have each other and, more importantly, we have God. I love the areas for reflection to promote growth. This is a wonderful book that helped me process all the craziness and offered hope.”

This book would have been very helpful during some of my recent struggles. It is so relatable and honest. It is amazing how people can have different types of pain, but when it comes to healing, there are similar ways we should approach all the feelings we have. I like the way you are reminded that you are not alone and that the author leaves pages for writing and reflecting. Thank you for letting me read your book.
