This book is for any woman who has ever loved a man. Every woman who has ever loved and hated; adored and despised; been loyal and betrayed; been in love and left alone; and had to find themselves again has issues they hide, emotions they deny and feelings that are difficult to reconcile - especially in today's society. This book speaks openly about love and relationships - addressing the consequences and rewards and sex and its pleasure and pain. The stories portray different woman and their lives - each of them struggling to carry on while hiding insecurities, secrets, and lies. Each of them triumphs in different ways. Each of them takes you on a journey - to feel what they feel but can never say. Embrace each character, breathe for them, and let yourself live again About the Author Chalet A.
