The Me I Used to Be
SHE LOST HER HAIR.
SHE LOST HER MARRIAGE.
Now she's finding herself.
When Brielle Bowman is diagnosed with alopecia areata while divorcing her controlling husband, her world unravels. Stripped of the identity she built for herself, she's forced to ask the hardest question of all:
Who is she without the life she thought she needed?
With the support of her best friend and daughter, Brielle shaves her head, faces her fears, and learns that beauty was never the problem—believing it was is what almost broke her.
As she pieces herself back together, Brielle rediscovers long-buried dreams, pursues a new purpose, and builds a future on her own terms. But healing isn't linear, and letting go of the past isn't always easy.
HEARTBREAKING. EMPOWERING. UNAPOLOGETICALLY REAL.
