Build the mantra you need right now.


When the author’s marriage breaks down after 16 years, she embarks on a journey of transformative learning. Sometimes heart-wrenching, sometimes celebratory but always ethereal, Mo’s testimony bears an examination of the emotional plane that everyone in a marriage should explore.


From the shock of discovery and deconstruction through to the easement of rehoming, Radiant White Light brings us through divorce to the tenderness of vulnerability and displacement, under the waters of forgiveness, and finally to a place where life will never be the same.


For those walking through the unknown of separation, this memoir offers clarity, courage, and the comfort of shared experience.
