The Story Behind the Book

Have you gone through a tough breakup? Are you tired of dating advice that doesn't seem to understand what you're actually going through? Do you feel discontent, stuck, or unworthy, like your life is on hold until the right person finally shows up?

Single Truth was born out of one of the most painful seasons of Annie's life. As a marriage counselor who had spent years helping couples build stronger relationships, Annie found herself navigating her own heartbreak when an excruciating breakup with her first love shattered the future she had planned. In her thirties, single, and surrounded by clients living the very love stories she longed for, Annie made a radical decision: she committed to a year-long dating fast, no dates, no apps, no distractions, in order to dive deeper into her personal relationship with God, confront her deepest fears, and learn to embrace the life right in front of her. She wrote Single Truth during that fast, not from the other side of a happy ending, but from the middle of the unknown, working through the truth about love in real time.

What Makes This Book Different

Most books about singleness are written by people who have already found their "happily ever after," looking back on their single years with the comfort of knowing how the story ends. Annie wrote Single Truth while she was still in it, still waiting, still wrestling, still learning to trust. That's what makes this book so honest and so deeply relatable. It's not a neat package of advice from someone who has it all figured out. It's a raw, vulnerable, and ultimately hopeful account of what it looks like to find meaning, identity, and genuine joy in a season the world tells you to rush through.

Drawing from her dual background in theology and psychology, Annie weaves together her personal story with clinical insight and spiritual depth. Every chapter blends memoir-style storytelling with practical wisdom, and each one closes with reflective questions designed to help readers internalize the message and apply it to their own lives. Readers consistently describe those end-of-chapter questions as one of the most powerful parts of the book, the kind of prompts that stay with you long after you close the cover.

What You'll Take Away

Whether you are single, dating, engaged, married, or divorced, Single Truth will help you experience true freedom by challenging the attachments and expectations that have kept you stuck, find a love that is free, faithful, and fruitful while rediscovering your truest identity in Christ, and accept the present moment as a gift by learning to find God in the waiting rather than rushing past it.

This is not just a book for singles, though it will change the way single readers see their season. Married readers have called it a powerful reminder of spiritual truths that cross over into every state of life. Therapists and counselors have recommended it to their own clients. And readers from both Catholic and non-Catholic backgrounds have found Annie's insights deeply meaningful, regardless of their faith tradition.

The Book That Started It All

Single Truth is more than a book, it's the reason You Are More exists. While Annie was writing it, she asked herself a question that would shape everything that came after: "When people come across my book, what do I want them to take away, even if they don't buy it?" The answer became the subtitle, the business name, and the mission at the heart of everything Annie does: You are more than your relationship status. That one truth, that your worth, your identity, and your purpose are never determined by whether or not someone is standing beside you, is the foundation of this entire practice.
