What readers are saying

"I wish Bethel's powerful book was available to me when I became a young widow at 29. It's more than a book, more than a personal story, it's a hand holding those experiencing such deep grief, and guiding them through to the other side of the pain - stronger and empowered to embrace life again." 

- Tracie Couper

"Bethel’s account of her loss in Not a Cinderella Story serves as a heartfelt invitation to practice empathy. She offers an unflinching look at the raw, whirlwind effects of grief—something none of us are ever truly prepared for. Through her words, the book illuminates love’s resilience, life’s precious gift, and the profound depths of loss. The book moved me deeply and reminded me of the vital importance of creating safe spaces for those navigating the all-consuming journey of grief."
