Description
What does it mean to love, to lose, and to find yourself on the other side?
Some books find you.
This is one of them.
Letters to the Woman I Was is a No.1 Amazon bestselling poetry and prose collection by Mimi G — Warwickshire poet, author, and No.1 bestseller whose debut collection reached the top of the Amazon charts in both the Poetry Anthology and Motivational and Inspirational Books categories in 2025. Featured in the Oxford Mail and Warwickshire World. Read by women across the United Kingdom and beyond who recognised themselves in every page.
━━ What this book is about ━━
There is a woman you used to be. She loved fiercely, lost deeply, and kept going even when she did not know how. This collection was written for her, and for the woman you are becoming.
Letters to the Woman I Was is a poetry and prose collection by Mimi G exploring love, loss, grief, trauma, self-discovery, and the quiet, unglamorous, necessary work of healing. It does not offer easy answers or tidy endings. It offers something rarer; the feeling of being truly seen.
Written in Mimi G’s signature voice; warm, direct, unflinching; this is the kind of book that opens differently depending on where you are in your life when you pick it up.
Readers return to it. They pass it on. They buy it for the women they love most.
This is not a book about surviving. It is a book about what becomes possible when you finally stop pretending you are fine.
━━ Who this book is for ━━
This collection is for the woman who feels everything and has spent years wondering if that is a problem.
It is for the woman rebuilding after heartbreak.
The woman carrying grief she has not yet found words for.
The woman who has spent so long looking after everyone else that she has quietly lost herself somewhere along the way.
The woman who is not broken — just unfolding.
It is also one of the most meaningful gifts you can give. If there is a woman in your life who is going through something; a loss, a ending, a beginning, a season that is harder than anyone else knows; this book will say what you cannot find the words to say yourself. Choose the signed edition with a personalised handwritten message from Mimi, and you will give her something she will keep for the rest of her life.
━━ What readers say ━━
Letters to the Woman I Was has moved readers to tears, to laughter, and to long overdue conversations with themselves.
Women who do not usually read poetry have described it as the first collection that ever felt written for them.
Readers consistently say the same thing — that Mimi G has found words for feelings they have carried for years without being able to name.
