First published in 2007 with the title: I thought it was just me: women reclaiming power and courage in a culture of shame.

Not Just Me is a hopeful, entertaining, enlightening look at the root causes of anxiety, the latest research on mood disorders, and ideas for how we can all live authentically with more peace, power, and purpose. Part memoir, part journalistic exploration-this book reminds all of us that we are not alone.

One woman's career in the business world. An honest narrative about her experiences as an executive assistant, complete with the good, the bad, and the ugly.

This book includes original poems and diary entries from a, at one time, very disturbed mind. Many readers will be able to associate with the writer in their own way. This book talks of love, loss, and lessons of life from a unique point of view.

Have you ever wondered if you’re the only one who’s hurt, struggling, lonely, and confused? It’s not just you. Grace Valentine wants you to know one thing for sure: You’re not alone in your struggle. You’re not the only one feeling freaked out by the future. You’re not the only one dealing with crap. You’re not alone! Many women joke about having trust issues—laughing at their struggle because it feels common but secretly feeling there is no hope. Grace Valentine was one of them. In her twenties, she realized her trust issues were not humorous because, in reality, hers were trust issues with Jesus, her community, her family, and herself. And they were destroying her faith. Grace told herself she was simply being realistic, but the truth was, she was entangled with doubt and lies. In Grace’s second book, Is It Just Me?, she’ll walk you through how to handle rejection, stop joking about your issues, and find peace and healing for your scars by answering five deeply felt questions: Am I the only one who is tired, overwhelmed, doubting, and fearful? Am I the only one who feels hurt and lonely? Am I the only one who still is struggling to find my purpose? Am I the only one struggling to trust that God is there? Am I the only one confused about how to be an adult? Grace’s prayer is that as you journey with her through early adulthood, you’ll remember you have a Savior who loves you, flaws and all. By learning to trust in God’s design and His plans for your future, you’ll find you have everything you need to thrive in your twenties—and beyond.

""Out of shame, I sat on my story for a long time. Out of fear, the whole what would people think about me, how would people in my life feel about me sharing, I continued to sit on my story. I didn't know where to begin, and just thinking about starting became overwhelming. Who would want to hear my story? How would I share it, and who would I share it with? The who, what, when, where and how delayed my process but I finally overcame the excuses. I know God didn't bring me through so much, just to sit on it. I realized that there are other women needing to hear what I have to say. I need them to know just how much is possible for them. I promise that this book is filled with the honest truth, and I have poured my heart into it by sharing many hard things. I believe it's important that I share with you from this place.""
