Come Back Strong
Finding Hope, Health, and Joy Through Surgical Menopause
When I woke up from surgery, I expected my body to heal.
What I didn't expect was to lose myself.
The hot flashes, anxiety, brain fog, exhaustion, grief, and emotional roller coaster arrived almost overnight. I searched for answers and found very few conversations that honestly described what I was experiencing.
So I decided to write the book I desperately needed.

A Personal Note
I never imagined menopause would become part of my story.
But looking back, I can see that some of our greatest challenges become the very places where we're able to encourage someone else.
If this book helps you feel a little more understood, a little more hopeful, or a little more empowered to care for yourself, then every word was worth writing.
With love, gratitude, and kindness,
Lori Ann King
