ABOUT THE BOOK

What if the real heartbreak isn’t being left, but losing yourself trying to be chosen?

Anna grows up in a fractured home shaped by absence, tension, and emotional silence. With an unreliable father and a childhood marked by instability, she learns early that love is unpredictable and that affection must be earned.

At school, social isolation and quiet humiliation deepen her belief that she must work harder to be worthy.

When she leaves home at sixteen to work with horses, Anna believes distance will give her freedom. Instead, as she enters adulthood, she finds herself drawn to men who repeat the same painful pattern, devotion followed by betrayal.

Each relationship forces her to confront the question she has avoided her entire life:

Is she unlovable? Or has she simply been taught to accept too little?

Set against a rural backdrop of horses, hard work, and emotional survival, Single is an unflinching story of inherited trauma, identity, and the long road toward self-worth.

The first book in the All of the Above Trilogy, this is a powerful, character-driven novel about breaking destructive patterns and choosing yourself, even when it costs everything.

For readers who love emotional depth, quiet strength, and stories of women reclaiming themselves.
