Starter Husband: A Journey of Love, Loss and New Beginnings Paperback – 9 October 2024

Esme thought she had it all – young love, a whirlwind romance, and the promise of a fairytale future. When her seemingly perfect relationship shatters in the wake of betrayal and a legal scandal, Esme is left to pick up the pieces and find herself again.

Based on the true story of Edelmira Murrieta’s own life, Starter Husband is both entertaining and enlightening, weaving life lessons throughout every chapter. From the giddy excitement of first dances and midnight drives to the harsh reality of heartbreak and starting over as a single mother, Esme’s story is one of resilience, courage, and the power of transformation.

Through the trials of navigating unexpected challenges and confronting hard truths, enduring the highest of highs and lowest of lows in both love and wealth, Esme discovers an inner strength she never knew she possessed. As she reclaims her life and redefines her path, one question remains: Can she find lasting happiness after heartbreak – or will the shadows of the past hold her back forever?

Told with warmth, humor, and raw honesty, this cinematic narrative of love and self-discovery will leave you moved and inspired. Starter Husband is not just one woman’s story – it’s a universal tale of love, loss, and the divine will to rise again.

“Starter Husband is a captivating story of a profound & resilient woman who is an extremely strong mother, wife, and business owner. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat. Captivating readers from the beginning, it is like a magical fairytale at first and then takes an unexpected twisted turn leaving the main character shocked, hurt, betrayed, however only for a brief time. When things seemed next to impossible to turn around, from the moment of the downfall it is as if she immediately started to bounce back and keep her focus of being so strong for herself and her children.”
