The only way through is out : a memoir

Suzette Mullen had been raised to play it safe--and she hated causing others pain. With college and law degrees, a kind and successful husband, two thriving adult sons, and an ocean-view vacation home, she lived a life many people would envy. But beneath the happy facade was a woman who watched her friends walk boldly through their lives and wondered what was holding her back from doing the same. Digging into her past, Suzette uncovered a deeply buried truth: she'd been in love with her best friend--a woman--for nearly two decades--and still was. Leaning into these unspeakable feelings would put Suzette's identity, relationships, and life of privilege at risk--but taking this leap might be her only chance to feel fully alive. As Suzette opened herself up to new possibilities, an unexpected visit to a new city helped her discover who she was meant to be. --
