Bøger af Marissa Dara Foster

Petra, a young career woman, suddenly and inexplicably finds herself in the midst of an early "midlife" crisis, ending her eight-year relationship and losing her mojo at her dream job as a book editor. Woven together is present day third-person narrative and first person memories, dreams, and journaling, Something Not Broken gives readers the opportunity to become intimately acquainted with Petra's inner life, while challenging them to unwrap the mysteries of the past that shaped her, much as Petra herself is doing. We all go on the journey with her. These characters are all flawed, and searching for, or at least desiring something else, and yet on the surface, they have everything. The author hopes this story will emotionally resonate with readers long after they have forgotten the words. Her wish is that they'll be less critical of themselves and others, aiming to understand before judging. About the AuthorMarissa Dara Foster started writing short stories and poems when she was eight years old, and has loved writing ever since. Foster looks for any reason to string together written words: Christmas cards, journal writing, a screenplay, letters to loved ones, prayer requests. She even turned a college job as a minutes taker for an academic panel into an excuse to write beautiful, flowery prose. Other things Foster loves include cooking, making homemade liqueur, weekend excursions and daytrips, wine tasting, crystals, fudge, blown glass, praying in empty churches, especially small chapels with stained-glass windows, reading, tennis, walking, "thinking about my twin flame, starting my day with coffee and chatting with Jesus Christ."
