CRAZY Won’t Leave Me Alone uses humor and personal storytelling to explore the voices that shape women’s choices—and what happens when they stop giving those voices the final say.
ATLANTA, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Author, speaker and storyteller Susan H Hines turns divorce, dating, self-doubt and reinvention into an unexpectedly humorous exploration of becoming in CRAZY Won’t Leave Me Alone: Dating, Doubt, and Discovering the Woman I Was Meant to Be, releasing Oct. 20, 2026, through TJP Publications.
Part memoir and part reflection, CRAZY Won’t Leave Me Alone follows Hines through dating missteps, loneliness, friendship, travel and the uncomfortable work of beginning again.
At the center is “Crazy”—not a diagnosis or a person, but Hines’ name for the internal voice shaped by fear, comparison, people-pleasing, old expectations and the stories people create when they do not have all the facts.
“I used to think becoming meant finally having everything figured out,” Hines said. “What I learned is that becoming can look like changing your mind, starting over, laughing at what used to make you cry and choosing yourself—even when somebody else thinks you’re crazy for doing it.”
From coffee-house introductions and memorable dating experiences to solo adventures and sister circles, Hines uses humor and personal stories to examine a larger question: Who are you becoming when you stop allowing everyone else to answer that question for you?
The journey also gave rise to Hines’ C.R.A.Z.Y. Method: Challenge the narrative, Reclaim your power, Accept yourself, Zero in on what brings you joy, and You choose what comes next.
CRAZY Won’t Leave Me Alone is the first installment in Hines’ planned CRAZY trilogy. It will be followed by CRAZY Is Working Overtime: A Memoir About Success, Being Seen, and Finally Defining Enough for Myself and CRAZY, Everybody Can’t Come: What I Learned About Giving, Boundaries, and the People We Let In.
“Crazy didn’t disappear when I started changing my life,” Hines said. “She just stopped automatically getting the microphone.”
