Because of Abigail: A True Story of Love, Grace, and Becoming (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781834187440)

Because of Abigail is not a fairy tale of love that lasts forever, it is something more honest, raw, and enduring. In these deeply personal pages, Francis Odame tells the story of how a single relationship reshaped him: how he loved, how he failed, and how he was changed forever.

Abigail was more than a woman he once loved. She was a compass, a mirror, a turning point. Through her, he learned that love is not possession, endings are not failures, and even heartbreak can leave behind something sacred.

This memoir is not about perfection, but about becoming-about learning to breathe again when the air feels thin, about forgiveness that arrives slowly, and about the quiet courage to remain tender after being broken.

If you have ever loved and lost, if you have ever been remade by someone who walked into your life only to leave it again, this story will resonate with you because some loves do not fade. They live on in the men and women they leave behind.

Because of Abigail . . . he became who he is, and who he is still becoming.
