    The Girl Who Cried Love: A Pivot to Self-Worth is a raw, unfiltered memoir-meets-manifesto about breaking cycles, letting go of toxic love, and finally coming home to yourself. 
    For years, Lindsay Manfredi — bassist for the rock band Cold and author of Unfuckwithable: A Guide to Inspired Badassery — thought confidence and self-worth were the same thing. She wore confidence like armor: smiling through heartbreak, hustling through exhaustion, and chasing love in all the wrong places. But beneath it all was a truth she couldn’t outrun — she didn’t believe she truly deserved the love, respect, and good things she was giving to everyone else. 
    In this deeply personal and empowering journey, Lindsay peels back the layers of her own story — from self-sabotage and substance abuse to healing, self-discovery, and reclaiming her worth. With honesty, grit, and moments of laugh-out-loud humor, she offers hope to anyone who has ever: 
    * Worn confidence like a mask to hide the cracks underneath 
    * Clung to relationships or situations that couldn’t give them what they needed 
    * Numbed the pain to survive another day 
    * Felt “not enough” no matter what they achieved 
    The Girl Who Cried Love is more than a story. It’s an invitation to stop chasing validation and start valuing yourself — exactly as you are. 
    If you’ve ever felt lost, unworthy, or stuck in a cycle you can’t break, this book will remind you: you are not broken. You are becoming.

    Katherine O'Flaherty was born on the 8th February 1850 in St Louis, Missouri to parents of French and Irish descent. 
    At age 5, she was sent to the Sacred Heart Academy and, apart from a 2 year period at home when her father died, remained there until graduating in 1868.  Whilst there she began writing and became an avid reader of almost anything that crossed her path.   
    Kate married Oscar Chopin in 1870 and the couple moved to New Orleans, and later to the rural setting of Cloutierville, Louisiana to raise their 6 children.  
    In 1882 her husband died leaving her in a deep trench of debt.  Despite her best efforts to turn the businesses around they were sold, and she moved the family back to St Louis and the financial help of her mother.  Sadly, her mother died within the year.  Kate, now struggling with depression, pushed herself to write and gained a local reputation as a writer of short stories that captured the local color and vibrancy of her surroundings. 
    By the early 1890’s her short stories were published nationally.  With this widespread audience also came negative reviews, controversy, and cries of immorality as themes such as interracial relationships, the rights of women and other burning issues of the day were written about. 
    Despite the criticism, which unnerved her, she continued to write though in the main her works, around 100 short stories and two novels, were not attributed with any literary worth. 
    Kate Chopin died from a brain haemorrhage in St Louis Missouri on the 22nd of August 1904.  She was 54. 
    For much of the 20th Century her work was forgotten and out of print.  It was only in early 1970’s, with the rise of feminism and the call for a more just society that she was given the status her works had long described and shone a literary light at.  She is now safely revered as one of America’s great authors.
