The main character Arielle is unique and a free spirit, but realizes she's slowing losing those aspects of her due to an unhappy marriage and feeling as though she is not worthy of happiness. I have been in the same situation, and I was able to find true love and self-redemption. I think this subject is something that others can relate to as well, so I decided to use this concept as inspiration for the novel.(less)
