Missing Ma: A Brush with Love

By Emily Webster

As an author, I aimed write a story that delves into the complexities of love in a lesbian relationship and the journey of healing. In this book, I also sought to celebrate the and resilience of women, particularly those who have childhood trauma and loss. Love possesses the power to heal, inspire, and transform lives. It is a force that can guide us through darkest moments and help us rediscover our authentic selves.

Emerus Ingram is a bestselling author and renowned life coach known for helping others navigate their pain. However, her own past is a carefully concealed wound. When she meets Mercedes Lee, a beautiful art gallery owner with a guarded heart and a history of trauma, their instant connection is undeniable. Yet love rarely comes without complications.

Haunted by the shadows of childhood loss and emotional scars, Mercedes struggles to let anyone in. Inspired by the memory of her late mother Renee, Emerus becomes determined to help her heal. But as their connection deepens, Emerus's own demons begin to resurface. While helping Mercedes confront her demons, the skeletons in Emerus's closet also resurface. Emerus confronts a life-threatening challenge involving her estranged father, a renowned jazz musician that shakes the foundation of everything she's built.

As both women confront the ghosts of their pasts, they must decide: can love be the bridge to healing, or will the pain they've carried for so long drive them apart?
