* Description = Ms Jasmine Divine is a West End sensation and a rising star. Everybody wants to know what she eats, whose label she wears, and of course, what happens behind the firmly closed door of her luxury penthouse apartment. This is the story of one woman’s struggle to understand her present by re-visiting her male past. The quest takes her upon a journey of self discovery, retracing her turbulent transition from the quiet and self doubting man she used to be, to the flamboyant and self assured Ms Jasmine Divine; leading lady and frequenter of the gossip pages of numerous celebrity magazines; and of course the people’s queen of hearts.

However, she lives with a dark secret, that’s if the public ever discovered it, would destroy the career that she has dreamt of all of her life. When her civil partner Roberto walks out on her, as he reaches the end of his tether with the demanding schedule of Jasmine’s merry-go-round lifestyle, everything she once took for granted is no longer within her reach. While Jasmine stands at the brink of the abyss, and the life she once knew threatens to throw itself off and into the bottomless ravine below, she is faced with having to return to her past, and to the frightened man she once used to be; and finally confront the ghosts of her yesterdays to discover the answers to many questions which she simply buried long ago.

As she recalls her travels across Europe and into North Africa, while transitioning from the man that she once was, to the glamorous Ms Divine, she recalls how it was the places that she visited, and more importantly, the people from the past that she encountered upon her journey, that will help her to rebuild the future, which she considers to be unsalvageable; and finally put reality before superficiality.
