She Spent Years Hiding the Truth About Her Marriage

On this week's Stories of Hope, Tzipporah sits down with CB Levovitz, a single mom of four who has lived through two divorces, a marriage tested by addiction and recovery, and a rock bottom she wasn't sure she would come back from. CB opens up about the shame no one talks about, the summer her whole community knew what she was going through, and the phone call to her family that changed everything.

This is not a story with a wedding at the end, and that's exactly the point. CB shares how she rebuilt her life one step at a time, what she wants every single parent to hear, and why she believes Hashem's timing has been perfect all along.
