Black Pansies

Fiza, an adoptee from South Sudan, finds accepting and giving love impossible.
Although she has everything a young lady would desire--a supportive family and friends, a rewarding career, a well-appointed turret, where she lives independently--she feels empty.
The why she intuits hides in a dark cave in her heart's memory.
With great courage, she embarks on a treacherous journey home, hoping to find answers and to free herself for everlasting love, her deepest yearning.
The tension between the romantic hoped-for and the inevitably starker reality palpates. "Black Pansies is all about love. Love of self, family, and that one special person to share your life with. It was a truly beautiful experience to read Fiza's journey as she understood her identity and navigated towards her future."--Worthy Writers Editing.
"Beautifully written and deeply moving, Black Pansies, is one of the best books I've read."--a Beta Reader.
