Description
In the dead of night, Tennyson and Kyle Jacobson's world is shattered when a violent home intruder forces them into a fight for their lives. The traumatic ordeal leaves the headlines buzzing with the gripping story of survival, but the true journey—the one most people never see—takes place in the quiet aftermath.
As Tennyson struggles to heal from the severe emotional and psychological scars of the attack, she confronts the deeper, hidden wounds she never knew existed. The experience forces her to find the inner strength to rebuild her self-esteem, examine her beliefs, and face the PTSD that threatens to unravel her. With Kyle by her side, they fight not just to survive but to thrive— turning what headlines called “Your Worst Nightmare” into an unexpected story of hope and purpose.
While the event itself is nothing less than mind-blowing, the aftermath is a raw and inspiring journey of healing, love, and resilience. As Tennyson strives for peace, her relentless curiosity and determination for emotional well-being reveal that survival is merely the first step on the path to true healing. True strength lies in doing the work and having the courage to trust one’s self as a way to find purpose and meaning after facing unimaginable fear.
This is the untold story of what happens after the headlines fade—and how one couple's darkest moment can ultimately lead to their brightest future.

Featured Reviews

I received a free copy of, The Mother Of All Days, by Tennyson Jacobson, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Tennyson and her husband Kyle had their house broken into twice in two days, by the same suspect, I wont spoil what happened, but it led t pretty severe PTSD, for Tennyson. This book is very raw and heavy, its a lot to take in.
