All she’s ever wanted is for someone to love her as much as she loves them . . .

So why is she alone, facing midlife questions about what comes next, and estranged from her adult son?
When Vic moves “home” to care for her ailing—and relentlessly critical—mother, she’s hoping for a peaceful place to regroup and figure out her future. Instead, she’s confronted by old wounds, familiar dysfunction, and slips into destructive coping habits.
Then she gets caught shoplifting at the cozy, eclectic Second Chance Shop.
Humiliated and ashamed, Vic faces a difficult truth: the only common denominator in all her unhealthy relationships is her.
But change is possible. If she’s willing to heal old hurts and rewrite the stories she’s always believed about herself, she could gain genuine friendships, a healed relationship with her son, and maybe even something she’s long given up on: lasting romantic love.
First, however, she must learn that self-hatred is something borrowed—and the love she’s spent her life searching for begins within.
