"You were never too much. They were just never enough."

Isabella thought giving everything to love was what made her whole, until she realized in losing herself, she had lost more than she could ever imagine. The One Who Stayed follows her journey through heartbreak, betrayal, and the painful unraveling of who she thought she was - and who she was meant to be.

Set against the backdrop of loss and renewal, this powerful novel is for every woman who has ever stayed too long, loved too deeply, or been told she was "too much." It is for the women who have felt invisible, silenced, or forgotten - and who are ready to rise stronger than ever before.

Raw and deeply relatable, Sandra Guzman's debut novel doesn't just tell a story - it holds a mirror to the lives of women everywhere. With prose that is both tender and unflinching, it reminds us that healing isn't linear, that love can both wound and awaken, and that reclaiming your voice is the most powerful act of all.

Perfect for readers of contemporary women's fiction, romance with depth, and stories of self-discovery, The One Who Stayed is more than a novel - it's an anthem for women who are ready to step into their power, embrace their worth, and never apologize for their strength.

If you've ever questioned your place, doubted your value, or searched for the courage to begin again, this book will speak to you. It's time to remember: you were never too much.
