In Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage, Belle Burden recounts the sudden end of her twenty-year marriage during the early days of the pandemic, when her husband unexpectedly announced he was leaving. As she searches for answers and reexamines her past, Burden confronts family expectations, betrayal, and her own identity—emerging stronger and determined to use her voice. This deeply moving memoir charts a path from heartbreak to resilience.
