The letter every mother should give and almost none can. The truth about the wedding night, his family, and your own voice, written for the girl no one prepared. Forty pages of what my mother handed me in silence, said out loud at last. Read it before they hand you the milk.

Thirty-six laws every wife obeys and no one will admit exist. The rules for her body, her voice, her money, her silence, written down for the first time. Each one exactly as it was enforced, and exactly how they denied it. You were never meant to see the code in writing. Now it's in your hands.
