Embrace that girl: a love story with the girl in the mirror, paperback/cris ramos greene

Cris has just turned thirty and shes sitting in a self- help seminar inside a drab old hotel outside Miami International Airport.

Shes looking for answers, some affirmation and maybe a sliver of absolution.

And wine.

Thirty wasnt supposed to feel like this.

Surely, she should be more certain of her place in the world, an established writer, maybe even a mother-she definitely shouldnt be eating cereal for dinner.

But Cris is ready to do what it takes to create the life she wants, even if it means repeating affirmations with strangers while 757s thunder overhead.

Embrace That Girl retraces Cris search for meaning, love and gainful employment.

She navigates love triangles and career letdowns, feigns bilingualism, and delves into tarot, superstition and Santeria (its amazing what it takes to date in Miami).

Along the way, Cris begins to realize an important lesson: there is no way to get out of doing the work yourself.

Its not easy, but its worth it.
