When I wrote The Divorcée Chronicles: Diary of a Divorcée Diva, I was completely focused on the story. I never even considered the cover. Once I
needed it, I put a lot of thought into the picture, but had no idea how I
wanted to frame it. So, I just chose a simple template that would highlight the
picture. Fast forward a few years and a lot of research, I decided I wanted a
larger and more creative font. I came across Ida of Amygdala Art, a designer
with a striking portfolio, and asked her put her touch on the words. I hope you enjoy the new design and the story
behind the image.
Her eyes are closed as she reflects on her past, so that it
will not affect the dreams of her future. The colors represent her journey of
emergence from darkness to the light. Her shoulder is bared as a symbol of the
naked truth that has saved her. Her beauty mark matches that of her grandmother
and reminds her that she has the strength and support of her family. She
delights in the beauty of the butterfly. She relates to its humble and lowly
beginnings. Once moving slowly and crawling on the ground, with its life at the
mercy of its surroundings and at risk of being trampled. Then suddenly, hidden
away to be broken down and transformed into a new being. The struggle to break
free is strengthening its wings, so that it may take to the sky. She had to die,
so that she could fly.
