Coles Coming Back Whole: A Memoir of Secrets, Survival, and Self-Reclamation at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON

At fifty, after thirty-two years of marriage, Ingrid Chapman served her husband divorce papers at the airport-directly in front of the woman he was having an affair with. It was the moment she stopped disappearing.
COMING BACK WHOLE is the story of how she got there. Married at eighteen, she raised three children, helped build a family nonprofit, and spent decades inside a church that taught her endurance was holiness and silence was safety. Beneath the capable surface lay hidden betrayals, a hunger she could not name, and the early absence of a mother who left when she was five.
This is not a dramatic escape but a quieter, more common reckoning: what happens when a woman finally trusts her own knowing after a lifetime of being taught to doubt it. With raw honesty and hard-won grace, Ingrid reclaims the self she buried to survive-and builds the life that finally feels like her own.
In her sixties, she now lives on a small homestead with her second husband, surrounded by chickens, bees, and gardens, with their seven children, and eighteen grandchildren close by. For any woman who has felt trapped in roles that no longer fit, Coming Back Whole offers a tender, powerful reminder: you are allowed to come back to yourself.
