Description
When Evelyn Reed uncovers her husband’s hidden world one filled with lies, secret behaviors, and emotional abandonment her entire reality is shattered. This book doesn’t gloss over the pain or offer a quick path to forgiveness. Instead, Evelyn walks readers through the true aftermath of betrayal: panic attacks, dissociation, therapy breakthroughs, and the slow reclaiming of her voice.
With unfiltered journal entries, therapy reflections (including EMDR), and real conversations between Evelyn and her husband, the book offers deep insight into what betrayal trauma really feels like physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It’s not just a story of a marriage in crisis it’s a woman finding herself again in the rubble.
Whether you’re healing from infidelity, navigating relationship with an addict, or simply looking to feel less alone in your pain, Shattered Vows offers honesty, compassion, and hard-won hope. It’s a voice for the voiceless, and a path toward empathy, healing, and reclaiming power.

Shattered Vows had me gasping, cheering, and side-eyeing every red flag as Evelyn turns heartbreak into pure, unstoppable healing power.
Shattered Vows is one of those memoir-style stories that pulls you right into someone’s lived experience, raw, unfiltered, and painfully honest. Following Evelyn as she navigates betrayal, trauma, and the long, messy road back to herself felt deeply moving, and I appreciated how she didn’t shy away from the panic attacks, dissociation, and therapy work that recovery often requires. What stayed with me most was her willingness to reveal not just the heartbreak, but the slow rebuilding of her strength and identity. I genuinely enjoyed reading it because it felt real—messy, hopeful, and ultimately empowering in a way that stays with you long after the last page.
If you’ve ever had your heart drop-kicked by betrayal, this book hands you the ice pack AND the comeback plan.
Okay, so Shattered Vows absolutely swallowed me whole—in the best and “wow-I-need-a-minute” way. Evelyn takes you right into the thick of heartbreak, therapy breakthroughs, ugly crying, and those fierce little moments where she starts taking her power back (and I was cheering every time). I loved this book because it doesn’t sugarcoat a single thing, but it also doesn’t leave you sitting in the rubble—it shows you how to rise from it. If you want honesty, healing, and a woman reclaiming herself like an absolute queen, read this one.
