あらすじ・解説
I wish my healing journey started a lot sooner and I wish I would have known that I was more valuable as a human being.: TJ's mother has borderline personality disorder and abused her from a young age. She realized this when she grew up and estranged herself from her. Since then, she's been working on her recovery by finding a therapist and working on self-love.: TJ spent a lot of time in her early 20s being promiscuous and having short-lived relationships, which left her feeling empty and not valuable. She met her husband later in life and realized that her value was more than just her looks.
my book through my website TJButlerAuthor.com. You're welcome to use either of these versions of what the book is about. If you need something very short, I've separated the second shorter one into three sections. Use the middle one. In TJ Butler's Dating Silky Maxwell, a facial scar alters a former sex worker’s identity and a social media influencer leads a double life. Wishes are granted for a price when a mysterious, fortune-telling stranger comes to town. A jilted bartender leaves her seaside inheritance in flames. While defending her dog, a woman kills an unnerving stranger, and a left-at-the-alter office worker finds her roots at a truck stop. A homesteader calls on nature to defeat a perpetrator, and a lonely heart’s new boyfriend may have questionable motives. Taboo subjects like sex work, suicide, abortion, incarceration, identity, and fraught family relationships are handled with grit and grace. From a rundown coal country dog track to a glittering Washington, DC highrise, this chorus of passionate, damaged characters leave their pasts behind and reinvent themselves until their mistakes no longer define them. TJ Butler's sharp short-story collection, Dating Silky Maxwell, focuses on women's agency and the ways they make choices or not.
