Dedicated, to the Little Girl in Me

Dedicate, to the Little Girl in MeFrom the one I lost to the One I LoveWhat happens when the girl you had to abandon to survive finally asks to be seen?In Dedicated, to the Little Girl in Me, Ebonie L. Spence delivers a raw, poetic memoir about growing up unseen, loving through absence, and learning slowly, painfully how to return to yourself.As the youngest of four, dark-skinned in a family and a world that praised lightness, raised by fragments of love from parents navigating their own wounds, Ebonie learned early how to endure. That endurance followed her into adulthood- into marriage, motherhood, faith and relationships where love arrived inconsistently and survival was mistaken for devotion.With unflinching honesty, this memoir explores colorism, abandonment, domestic violence, depression, and the quiet work of healing. It traces the journey from a first marriage shaped by survival to a second marriage defined by gentleness-where love did not demand endurance but offered space to heal.This is not a story about bitterness or blame.It is a story about patterns and the courage it takes to break them.For every woman that has ever stayed too long, loved too hard, or learned to confuse chaos with connection, Dedicated, to the Little Girl in Me is both a mirror and a release. Because healing is not about becoming someone new. it is about returning to who you were before the world taught you to disappear.
