There comes a time when life no longer asks you to bloom harder
—but to shed, soften, and see with new eyes.

In Wilted and Worthy, Fabi Preslar offers a tender collection of lyrical essays exploring what it means to evolve through seasons of identity, grief, self-forgiveness, faith, and quiet becoming. With the grace of a storyteller and the insight of a soul who has deeply lived, she invites you into the in-between spaces—where petals fall, attachments loosen, and meaning is found in both the fading and the flourishing.

These essays are not just reflections. They are companions. Each piece honors the sacred messiness of holding on, the surprising strength in release, and the beauty that remains long after something—or someone—is gone.

For anyone navigating change, loss, or a longing to
live more fully, this book is a reminder:

Even wilted, you are worthy.
Even weathered, you are whole.
And even now, you are becoming.
