Melissa Blake has graciously posted an except from “The Him Book: One Woman’s Almost Religious Search to Find the One” on her blog “So About What I Said….”
“This written work originally started as a love letter to Bruce. I wanted him to understand the scope and depth of our relationship, knowing his clouded memories of our time together were like a deck of disjointed Polaroid pictures instead of a cohesive rolling movie full of nuances and lush moments – due to his full time intoxication.” – Maya Contreras, excerpt “Eight Weeks of Bruce.”
The Him Book: One Woman’s Almost Religious Search to Find the One, which captivatingly chronicles her relationships with brutal honesty, while seeing the “tin lining” in all things, that life doesn’t end when love does.
