Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

From world traveler, entrepreneur, and content creator @DearAlyne, a vulnerable and hilarious memoir about leaving the Mormon church and how she escaped the restrictive expectations of her family and faith to find herself in the process.Alyne Tamir was raised to live her life for others: for her husband, her family, and the Mormon church. For twenty-five years, she put them ahead of herself, repressing things that didn't fit the neat, traditional story that had been written for her. On the surface, her life seemed picture-perfect. But in reality, Alyne was miserable, struggling to reconcile her flawless image with the pain and humiliation of abuse, an eating disorder, infidelity, and depression.Until Alyne reached a breaking point: the day her husband asked for a divorce-over email. Thank God! Or, not God. Finally free from the expectations of her family and faith, Alyne had to start a new life, which meant rediscovering herself and what she secretly wanted all along: the freedom of solo female travel and the liberating life of a digital nomad.In a singular voice brimming with honesty and humor, Alyne invites us on a journey of strength and self-discovery-with a little bit of irreverence along the way. Dear Alyne is a one-of-a-kind, coming-of-age story and an inspirational memoir about the limitless possibilities that await those brave enough to defy convention.This is a story about dismantling a life that was built for you to make room for the one you were meant to live.- Deconstructing Faith: From a Mormon-Jewish household to finding her own truth, Alyne unpacks the pain and release of leaving the only world she's ever known.- The Digital Nomad Lifestyle: Discover how a divorce-by-email became the catalyst for a new life of freedom, traveling the world full-time.- Raw Honesty and Humor: A candid look at overcoming an eating disorder, depression, and abuse with an irreverent voice that finds laughter in the darkest places.- A Journey to Self-Discovery: Follow Alyne as she defies convention and proves it's never too late to tear down the life you were given and build the one you actually want.
