From world traveler, entrepreneur, and content creator @DearAlyne, a vulnerable and hilarious memoir of how she escaped the restrictive expectations of her family and faith and found herself in the process.
Alyne Tamir was raised to live her life for others: for her husband, her family, and the Mormon church. For twenty-five years, she put others ahead of herself, repressing things that didnt fit the neat, traditional story that had been written for her. On the surface, her life seemed picture-perfect. But in reality, Alyne was miserable, struggling to reconcile the pain and humiliation of abuse, an eating disorder, infidelity, and depression with her flawless image.
Until Alyne reached a breaking point: the day her husband asked for a divorceover email. Thank God! Or, not God. Finally free from the expectations of her family and faith, Alyne had to start a new life, which meant rediscovering herself and what she secretly wanted all along: the liberating life of a digital nomad.
In a singular voice brimming with honesty and humor, Alyne invites us on a journey of strength and self-discoverywith a little bit of irreverence along the way. Dear Alyne is a one-of-a-kind coming-of-age story and a testament to the limitless possibilities that await those brave enough to defy convention.
Alyne Tamir was raised between Los Angeles and Israel, Mormonism and Judaism, and was a divorce by age 25. She dreamed of seeing the world, so she became a content creator with over four million followers, which allowed her to visit ninety-eight countries to date. Now she is the Founder of Nou Nou boutique wellness retreats and hotels in the Maldives and travels the globe, empowering others to explore their inner selves and expand their worlds.
