Nobody Should Be Alone: A Memoir of A Love Well Lived - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Being someone's last love is beyond perfect.

For fifteen years, I gave up on romance. I’d learned through a painful childhood and a failed first marriage that love could look a lot like competition, control, and manipulation. I told myself to be strong, guarded, and independent. I built a career that became a fortress.

Then I met John.

Thirty-one years older, equal parts charming and disarming. When he said, in his thick Brooklyn accent, “Nobody should be alone,” it struck a long-silenced chord within me.

This is the story of how I could have easily missed out on one of the greatest experiences of my life – loving and being loved by John. He showed me that unconditional love and laughter are the best healers.

Nobody Should Be Alone is a personal exploration of second chances, unexpected love, and healing that comes from someone truly knowing you.

Maria Francesca is the pen name of the author, who lives in North Carolina with her dog. When not writing, she enjoys board games, singing, and time spent with friends. Nobody Should Be Alone is her first novel.

In her debut memoir, Nobody Should Be Alone: A Memoir of A Love Well Lived, author Maria Francesca recounts her friendship, courtship, and ultimate marriage to John, a man many years her senior, who saved her from becoming a lonely, workaholic divorcee and who taught her that Love and laughter are great healers. The book touches on both the Joy of Living and the Inevitability of Death as Maria describes her journey of giving oneself fully to a relationship, especially an unconventional one. Readers will laugh, cry, and ponder as they engage with this simple but profound book.
- Hope Anderson, author of MotherLove

Nobody Should Be Alone is an honest and heartfelt story of abiding love and second chances. Drawn from the author’s marriage to a man several decades older, this memoir reveals both the beauty and heartache of a love well-lived, and also explores the interconnection of their relationship on her faith, career, and family.
— Laura C. Rader, historical fiction author of Hatfield 1677.
