The Beds We Lie In - Paperback

How much of yourself can you surrender to keep a home together before there's nothing left?
For years, Tenise lived in the quiet shadows of a life that looked complete on the outside, but was slowly unraveling from within. Navigating the dizzying loops of hope, fear, and emotional survival, she fought to protect her sons and hold onto the promise of peace. But when the illusion finally shattered, leaving a marriage behind meant stepping into an entirely new kind of storm-one filled with heartbreak, loss, and the devastating weight of parental alienation.
Raw, honest, and fiercely tender, The Beds We Lie In is a mother's story of navigating the deepest valleys of betrayal and grief. From medical emergencies and broken brotherhoods to small-town road trips and finding solace in a brand-new bed, Tenise shares the unvarnished truth of what it takes to rebuild from the ground up.
This is not just a memoir about surviving covert abuse; it is a testament to the enduring power of a mother's love, the strength found in unexpected sanctuaries, and the quiet courage it takes to keep waking up.
