Belle Burden and the Art of Being Vulnerable

Belle Burden’s Strangers is not your everyday memoir about divorce. After three kids, two decades and two homes, her husband was caught having an affair. When confronted, he walked out, saying that marriage and family were not “for him”. It was not about the other woman nor was it about a long bout with depression, it seemed as if he just woke up and decided to begin anew. Belle is left to search for answers as she questions her reality-did he ever love us? Did I make him unhappy? How can I move on with such a mysterious and traumatic narrative? Written with humor, care and love, this book really is a memoir of marriage and the mysteries often associated with a broken home. Trust us. Read it. Then tune into to our conversation with this amazing author and amazing woman.
