About the book

A quiet reckoning, written plainly

A small piece of metal, worn so long it stops registering as something you’re wearing at all — until the day you take it off, and it turns out to carry considerably more weight than an object that size has any right to. A short, honest guide to the moment and what follows.

What readers will find inside

Deciding when you’re ready. What the actual moment tends to feel like. What to do with the ring afterward — kept, moved, melted, gone. And the strange, lingering tan line that follows for longer than you’d expect. Written plainly, for a small gesture that isn’t small at all.

When new pieces arrive
