Loving Outside the Lines
By Abigail Taylor
A tale of love, resilience, and self-discovery that defies societal norms.
Janie is recently divorced from her husband of twenty-plus years and realizes she has no idea who she is. She always defined herself by her titles of wife and mother, but now she’s finally free from living for other people.
As she tries to put the pieces of her life back together, she has to navigate the uncharted waters of newfound independence, which is scary because she is so used to being the caregiver for everyone else. When she encounters Brooke, a free-spirited and vivacious younger woman, Janie realizes she has a lot to learn about herself and her desires.
Brooke is an artist who wants to help others live up to their potential but fails to follow her own advice. She’s scarred by the rejection from her parents, but she’s not broken.
As she and Janie cross paths, an unexpected and undeniable connection blossoms. Together, they unravel the layers of their pasts, confronting the demons that have held them captive.
In Loving Outside the Lines, Janie and Brooke learn that true liberation lies in accepting and embracing themselves. But can they break through the complexities of their pasts and build a future together, or will the weight of societal judgment and personal insecurities threaten to pull them apart? Find out in this heartwarming tale of love, resilience, and the transformative power of self-discovery.
