About Pretty Purses
Pretty Purses with Messy Contents is a
deeply personal memoir about abandonment, infertility, and betrayal, intertwined with moments
of spiritual reckoning and hard-earned professional achievement. Through the ordinary items in the author's purse, each chapter reveals the quiet tension between appearance and reality-the strength women display and the uncertainty they carry alone. It reveals how identity is shaped not only by accomplishment, but by endurance. Not only by what was gained, but by what was survived.

This memoir speaks to every woman who has continued forward while carrying questions she could not voice and pain she could not name.

What you carry in silence has never defined your weakness. It has always been evidence of your purpose, your faith and your becoming.

Phyllice gets real about the things we carry in our purses. The contents all reflect something a little deeper when we take a moment to really think about it. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did. And I also hope that you will join me in being intentional about uncovering the messy parts with a trusted mental health professional.
