Some of the questions that Bello struggled with include: Am I Damaged? Am I Resilient? Am I a Bad Girl? Am I a Good Mother? Am I LGBT? Am I a Feminist? Am I Catholic? Am I Cinderella? Am I a Writer? Part of her soul searching led to the realization of her feelings for her partner Clare, but also pushed her to think about her relationship with her parents, her feelings about spirituality, her sexual identity, the highs and lows of her career, her humanitarian work and her worth as a mother.
