Description
After the death of her husband, Lee moves forward with her life. Or, so she thinks. Instead, she finds herself repeating the same mistakes with Frank that she made in other relationships. While working on her doctorate, she learns about those old patterns and she begins to perceive her relationship is a sham and her doctoral program is fraught with double messages and false promises. She must respond by confronting her professor, and Frank’s bizarre behavior. Are they connected? What does it all mean? Will she get what she wants or what she needs?
One woman's journey of self-discovery
Advance Praise
Tantalizingly close to achieving her lifelong goal, the protagonist must confront the ghosts of her past, which threaten to stand in her way. Burton skillfully puts the reader in a front-row seat for the trip. Intense, insightful, and well done

This story was quite different from what I normally read, but it was fantastic. I was so drawn to Lee's character and her willingness to cut her heart open to get to the bottom of her issues. I liked the methodical way that Lee handled each new situation that crossed her path and how she worked through it to get to the real issue at hand. The book was well written and quite thought provoking.
