THE STORY
Claire is a woman in the midst of the life she spent years building.
Then, one ordinary afternoon, parked outside the grocery store, a thought whispers out of nowhere:
You don't have to live this way.
She can't explain where it came from. Or why she can't seem to shake it.
But over the next few days, seemingly random moments begin to connect like breadcrumbs on a trail, and Claire can't help but follow where they lead. An invitation to coffee she almost declines. An old journal pulled from the back of a drawer. A handful of questions she isn't sure how to answer.
Slowly, Claire begins to understand that none of it is as random as it seems—and what she does next might just change everything.
She Got Still is a story about what becomes possible when a woman leaves a little room for life to surprise her.
Why I wrote this book.
There have been a handful of moments in my life when I've been busy plugging along, doing what needs to be done, when a thought or idea stops me in my tracks.
It happens in the car, in the shower—anywhere the unexpected quiet finds me—a thought I can't quite explain. A question that won't leave me alone. Or even a possibility I'd never considered.
Whatever it is, it makes me pause, even for a split second, and ask...
"Am I supposed to pay attention to this?"
What I've learned is that sometimes those unexpected thoughts have more to tell us than we realize. But there's only one way to find out.
We have to be willing to follow where they lead.
That's why I wrote She Got Still.
Because I wanted to tell a story about what happens when one ordinary woman decides to pay attention to the whisper she can't shake.
Even when she doesn't know where it will lead.
