De'Lilah Carter is a mother of three-sweet, fierce, and fiercely protective. But when her curious teenagers start asking about the woman she was before they were born, De'Lilah decides it's time to tell the truth.
In a series of late-night talks and emotional confessions, she opens the door to her past: the love stories that broke her, the mistakes that taught her, and the men who shaped her journey-Tiana's father, Michael's father, Jewel's father, and the man who would later become "Step-Dad."
As her children listen, sometimes in disbelief and sometimes in awe, they begin to see their mother not just as Mom-but as De'Lilah: a woman who fought for love, survived pain, and built a life from the pieces she was given.
Before You Knew Me is a raw, heartfelt exploration of motherhood, identity, and the courage it takes to reveal your truth to the ones who matter most.
