A compelling poetry journal by Author Nicole S. Brown that continues the narrative from its predecessor, “All About Slime.”
“The Reluctance to Embrace the Past” reveals a life-threatening ordeal the author endured, stemming from same individual who refused to let her follow her spiritual path. It became clear that this attack was a direct assault on her life’s purpose.
In the shadows of her life, the love of her life, a prominent Louisiana attorney hailing from North Chicago, manipulated multiple parties, including his former wives, their families, governmental agencies, Greek letter organizations, legal entities, and an alumni association, in a relentless pursuit to reclaim her as his ex-mistress of a decade. Dark secrets of betrayal and obsession unfold within the pages of this poetry journal.
The author bears witness to the guilty parties, shares moments of despair, extends statements of forgiveness, and offers confessions of guilt, providing readers with an intimate glimpse into the lives of a nymphomaniac, a money-driven, power-hungry Louisiana attorney, his wives, and the author herself and their entangled lives.
After years of separation and relentless attempts by the attorney to win her back, Nicole resolutely denies being the scapegoat in the dissolution of his household. She firmly asserts that he is the architect of the turmoil plaguing his home, and she stands unwavering in her truth.
With the help of God, Nicole emerges as the victor in a situation that may have seemed to the world as her defeat and falsehoods. She posits that the true liar and loser is not her but rather a higher, unseen adversary. While acknowledging her love for the man, the journal underscores her steadfast refusal to re-engage with his chaos and marital status.
