WHY DID YOU REVISE YOUR BOOK?
I removed "Part 2: Lessons I Learned Along the Way." Nothing else has changed. It is the same book, but without Part 2, I am still very proud of it, and my journey is still the same—a story I am blessed to share.
Life has a way of showing you new truths, and as I reflect on my journey, I realize that many of those "lessons" in the second part no longer resonate with who I am today. Over the years, my beliefs have shifted. What once seemed like the best advice now feels distant, as though I was offering solutions that didn't fully encompass the honest answer to peace and healing that I know today.
"I have to admit that I had never heard of this person prior to reading her book. However, through her story "You don't Know Crazy" I have come to admire Wambui Bahati . . . This book is written in an honest and often extremely funny way. The author obviously chooses to express herself through humor and this was quite inspiring. She retells her story and as she describes the hell that she went through, I could actually feel myself in her shoes - living it in my own head and heart . . . This was an excellent read".
