Leaving With Love

About the Book

Once in a great while, a book speaks to us with such honesty and grace that by the time its final sentence echoes in the mind, its truth has found a permanent place in our hearts.

Leaving With Love is such a book. On one level, it is the story of a year in the life of Dorothea Stephens-Stevie to those she loves-as she seeks to understand the long-held patterns and imprinting which have entangled the "heart connections" she makes with friends, family and especially lovers. But Leaving With Love's depth cannot be measured in a single calendar year. As Stevie's journey unfolds like a revelation, we witness every step in her unflinching yet heartfelt search for the one person she must inevitably cherish above all others-herself.

Leaving With Love is a remarkable literary debut. It is at once a love story, a meditation on the enduring power of family, and a travelogue of the heart. It proves, as few books in recent memory have, that only when we depart from old patterns can we finally arrive at new truths.
