What It Cost Me to Become Me is a raw and reflective journey through love, loss, identity, and becoming. In these pages, Dee Coleman invites readers into the quiet, painful, and powerful moments that shaped her evolution: moments of heartbreak and healing, faith and fear, surrender and self-reclamation. This book is not about perfection or arrival; it’s about the cost of choosing yourself when it would be easier to disappear.
 
With honesty, vulnerability, and grace, she explores the masks we wear to survive, the relationships that break us open, and the courage it takes to return home to who we truly are. This is a story for anyone who has loved deeply, lost boldly, and risen anyway. More than a memoir, What It Cost Me to Become Me is a mirror calling readers to reflect, release, and remember that becoming is a sacred act.
