WHY I WROTE GO BACK AND GET IT!
By Marcia M Spence
I wrote Go Back and Get It because I needed to heal and I knew I wasn’t the only one. For years, I carried pain. I didn’t have time to process grief, illness, trauma, disappointment, and burnout. I had survived so much, but I hadn’t stopped long enough to acknowledge what it cost me.
Then, in a season of deep reflection, I heard a divine whisper through my journaling: “GO BACK AND GET IT.”
That’s when I found Sankofa, the West African principle that teaches us to go back and reclaim what we’ve forgotten, lost, or left behind.
This book is a personal journey of healing, spiritual growth, and self-discovery. It blends lived experience with self-help tools, spiritual insight, and emotional honesty.
I wrote this book for the one who feels tired, unseen, stuck, or ashamed. This is for the one who has been strong for everyone else, but feels broken inside.
We are proud to celebrate a decade of empowering voices through storytelling. Marcia M Publishing House was born from my bed room during seasons of chronic illness and depression. With no startup capital and only my faith and determination, I published my memoir — and opened the door for others. Ten years on, we’ve published over 300 titles and launched two magazines. What began as survival became legacy.
