A Survival Guide for Untying the Knot
Contemporary Fiction
Story wants a divorce. It’s not that her marriage is awful. Or that she doesn’t believe in marriage anymore. She is a wedding photographer; she has to believe in marriage. It’s just that, tying that knot feels a little bit more like a noose than she expected. Nevermind what this means for her business, Story must decide what this means for her soul.
Raised to believe a person is only worth the salt in their boot straps, Story must write her own survival guide to tying the knot and hanging on tight. Survival, though, is messy, and love, doubly so. Despite her best efforts, love will find Story in the back of an Astro van. Love will practically curate the soundtrack to her soul’s impending doom. If she can’t have her cake, then maybe she can have her sins and savor them, too.
Worst case scenario, the earth splits open and hell swallows her whole. If the last thing she does is save Hunter from a fate like her own, then that’s exactly what she’ll do. May the devils have mercy on their souls.
