Description

"You'll walk away with more gratitude for the slow burn of the healing process." — Alicia Cook, author of Sorry I Haven’t Texted You Back

Tidal Pools and Other Small Infinities blurs the lines between endings and beginnings.

The love story starts in the usual way: a whirlwind of confessions, late night conversations, and promises that seem sturdy. The years pass by, and novelty is replaced by a comforting routine – one that’s difficult to walk away from when things take a toxic turn.

This is a collection about bravery and evolution. It takes courage to leave behind the familiar. To question all the things that once seemed undeniably true. To learn to stand on your own and, in doing so, become who you were really meant to be.

Endings can be the best beginnings…once you realize you have the power to create them.
