Description
What Freedom Smells Like is both a supernatural love story and a tale of transformative healing. Remarkably, it’s also the true story of one woman’s spiritual journey from self-destruction to self-love.
At 22, Amy has already spent time in a mental hospital and battled an addiction to self-cutting. At Berkeley, she falls in love with Truth, a charming black man with tribal tattoos, piercings and a mysterious past. Passionate and protective, Truth also proved violent and abusive. Amy’s own self-destructive tendencies create a powerful symmetry. Truth's sudden death leaves Amy with a warring set of emotions: grief for the man she loves, relief she is no longer the target for his aggression. Her relationship with Truth isn’t over however. Feeling his otherworldly presence in her dreams, Amy seeks help from a famous medium. What she learns, about herself and Truth, transforms her life.
Told with simple honesty and a devilishly dark sense of humor, What Freedom Smells Like recounts Amy’s extraordinary spiritual journey, and the gentle influence of a man who only discovers what is important after his own death.
