Each stone fragment is intentionally different, symbolizing how each woman carried her own story, strength, and legacy. Nothing is uniform — because their paths weren’t uniform either.
The clean white background keeps it minimal and modern, while letting the carved names stand out as the focal point. Visually, it feels like ancient pieces laid out for discovery, which aligns with how study blends Scripture with Historical insight.")

The falling petals symbolize the pieces of herself taken along the way — the moments she had to shrink or stay silent just to survive.
The gold splatter speaks to her inherent worth and strength that remained intact through everything.
The soft light behind the rose represents her reblooming, her healing, and her return to herself. It intentionally balances the darkness of what she endured with the brightness of who she became.
I separated the title into two tones because her story carries two narratives:
“Becoming your story” — the life shaped by trauma.
“own love” — the part she reclaimed and rebuilt for herself.
The overall design is intentionally minimal, elegant, and high-end to match the quiet luxury and feminine strength requested.")

"Out of the nearly hundred entries for our contest, elize is the only one who included a back cover, complete with short bios of the authors. She also researched the source of the image I wanted to use and helped me know it was legal. She really went the extra mile. Now we are changing the book a bit and she has been patient with necessary revisions on the original cover. I feel proud to share this cover design with others, knowing it is going to give our book a great first impression to potential buyers."
