She knows she is the prize. Now, she is ready to find a love that agrees. After intentionally carving out a season for herself-leaving the comforts of home and with dismay the responsibilities of motherhood behind to embark on a solo journey-one woman decides to live and love "freely." She isn't looking for someone to complete her; she is looking for a partner who is as transparent, invested, and available as she is. But the path is more treacherous than she anticipated. As she navigates a landscape of men who aren't up to par, she encounters storms that test her resolve and situations that unfold with or without her consent. She refuses to linger in the "wrong" spaces, valuing herself too much to stay, yet believing in love too much to stop. Blending raw narrative with evocative poetry, the author peels back the layers of these encounters, using verse to capture the depths of emotion that prose alone cannot reach. This collection captures the gravity of opening one's heart-and the beautiful, often unpredictable, person we become on the other side. Whether you are in the flush of a new beginning or reflecting on a love that changed your trajectory forever, these pages offer a sanctuary for the soul. How many "frogs" must be kissed before the right one appears? She is about to find out.
