BASED ON MY TRUE STORYThis is my real-life story; everything in this book... unfortunately, it is the truth, even though its difficult for me to talk about it. This book was written from real events that happened in my life. Nothing in this book was fabricated or used to start a conflict. No male-bashing was intended, nor is it encouraged. I simply spoke the truth about what happened, my thoughts, and my experiences.INTRODUCTIONFear. Rage. Frantic. Pain. Broken. Those feelings constantly and consistently recycle through my head. Over and over again. Will another man treat me better or worse than my ex-husband did? Will this happen again? Will I ever trust him again?Im writing this book as a form of self-therapy. Normally, Im a drama fiction author, and I considered including this in one of my stories. However, given my life experiences, I felt it needed to be non-fiction. To be told exactly as I lived it. Raw and unfiltered. Theres someone out there just like me whos going through or has gone through the same things I am, and I hope this helps them feel seen and understood.As a 39-year-old Black Christian woman, specifically an ordained pastor, people expect me to know where Im going, what Im about to do next, and just have all the answers. None of what I went through was planned. None of it.

Breaking SoftlyA Northern Dawn PreludeNothing collapsed. Trucks still crossed. Officers still asked their questions. Cameras still watched the line.But something beneath it was shifting.Tariffs accumulated. Clarifications hardened into guidance. Shipments slowed just enough to matter. American small businesses widened margins and deferred investment. Canadian planners redistributed risk. Households adjusted one receipt at a time.No single decision caused it. The pressure simply accumulated.As border agent discretion narrowed and language drifted from temporary to "current," assumptions gave way to planning. Meetings disappeared. Budgets shifted.
