This book is for the moments when you don't know if you can make it to tomorrow. Jacqueline Whitney wrote it because she has personal experience with it. Stay Until Tomorrow is Whitney's third collection of poetry and prose and her most personal. In her own words, it was written to be something you can turn to when you don't feel okay, when you are tired of life's fight, and need something to make survival a little more bearable. It is the comfort you reach for when you feel most alone. Whitney writes from the inside of that experience, not from a distance, addressing with honesty and tenderness the exhaustion of feeling like you don't belong here, the isolation of pain no one else can see, and the quiet, daily choice to stay one more day. The book does not ask you to feel better. It does not offer a framework for healing or a path to becoming. It simply sits with you, and asks you to stay until tomorrow and then the tomorrow after that. Whitney's voice throughout is warm, direct, and entirely without judgment: the friend who shows up at 3am, who doesn't need you to explain yourself, who already understands.
