"Danyelle Cedar's memoir, Dear Thomas, is about her journey of what it was like to be in love with a drug addict. She takes us down the journey of the endless cycle of relapse and recovery, holding desperately onto hope. She has their entire life planned out, until she is completely blindsided. As she wrote Dear Thomas, she recognized her own addictions she battled with: her addiction to being needed, her addiction to success, her addiction to prove others wrong, and her addiction to love. 

 

Danyelle is currently working on the sequel to Dear Thomas, which she eventually shares details of what it was like to survive the horrific 2023 Lahaina wildfire. She currently resides on the island of Oahu where she manages a bikini store, as she patiently waits for her Maui family home to be rebuilt."
