Thirsting for Life takes the classic vampire story into the present, exploring both the psychological and spiritual mind of the vampire and how it transcends through the experiences influenced by life, love and fate. This story probes themes of divorce, life as a single mother, as well as coping with anxiety and being diagnosed with a disease. Rebecca is a recently divorced single mother, whose life intersects with Adriano's complicated secret identity, forcing them to confront society's pressures to conform. The story ultimately provides a looking glass into which we peer and discover ourselves, our frailties, and our passion for love and life as living beings.
