A novel about memory, betrayal, and the quiet courage to begin again.

Losing You Twice, the cover
By M.A. Bello

She lost her mother once. Now she is losing her again, piece by piece.

When old wounds reopen and betrayals rise to the surface, Maya must fight to protect the woman she loves without sacrificing her own family's safety and stability.

At its heart, Losing You Twice explores the truths that shape us, the memories that follow us, and the courage it takes to begin again.

Losing You Twice gives language to wounds that are often minimized, denied, or rewritten; the mother wound, generational trauma, and the quiet devastation of being the family scapegoat.
