Sophie Marvise –
Amazing how you’ve lived, lost, loved, wandered, broken, rebuilt and then somehow turned it into The Long Road to Here … a memoir that feels like a quiet sunrise after a storm. Scenic highways, grief, estrangement, resilience, renewal it’s the kind of soul-deep storytelling that makes one stop scrolling and actually feel something.
