A memoir about Love, Loss, and Losing My S**t

Nate and I had a storybook love story spanning decades and oceans. A chance encounter blossomed into a love-of-your-life romance between a journalist near Sydney and a Silicon Valley technologist. It was too good to be true. Crossroads is the true story of the lengths that two people went to for love and money.

Crossroads is a funny, relatable, movie-ready, girl-meets-boy-meets-trainwreck tale. Anyone with terrible taste in men will empathize. Ultimately, it’s a victory story. The relationship arc went from romantic perfection to soul-crushing bewilderment and finally ended with an abrupt, brutal discard and a dark court battle. In the end, our author moved on stronger, emerging as a better version of herself - finally realizing living well really is the best revenge.
