“Author Laurie James delivers a powerful, moving story of the war within the self: who she is versus who she really wants to be. This author is gifted at putting these tug-of-war emotions and scenarios into a book with dialogue that reads as easily a novel. If you've ever given your all and it still isn't enough, you will definitely relate to this woman's journey, and perhaps you can learn from it as well.”

“Sandwiched delivers an insightful examination of a woman committed to strengthening her own understanding of how she became the person she is and how she can persevere to uncover the person she wants to be. The story will provide a valuable example for others seeking guidance and inspiration while confronting the ongoing and relentless obstacles in life.”
—Kathryn Taylor, author of Two Minus One: A Memoir

“A relatable memoir, told with honesty and grace, that reminds me of the struggles of every woman with a caring, nurturing soul. James gives so much of herself to the ones she loves that there’s nothing left for herself, to the point where it almost destroys her. Her self-discovery is a slow burn, one you won't be able to put down.”
—Jackie Townsend, author of The Absence of Evelyn and Riding High in April
