Love and Other Company - Print book - signed

Is there anyone out there for me? Can someone love all that I have to give — all that I am?

They make me feel like I'm not good enough. Not pretty enough. Not popular enough. Too different. Too outspoken. Too demanding. Too weird.

I refuse to give up. They use me and abuse me but I keep searching and hoping, laying my heart in trusted hands.

There is someone just as broken and longing for love and connection like me — for me. Isn't there?

Until I find you, my soul shall not rest. My dreams forever be haunted...

 A memoir written in poetic verse and the first collection in the Fragile Heart Series, the author shares her personal journal entries over the years in the quest to find her person. 

From the back cover:

This collection of poetry consists of six unique parts. It is a personal journey through the phases of lust, love, loss, and all the heartache, exhilaration, and self-discovery in between. Words to remind you, although you may feel broken, you will heal. Although you may feel inadequate, you are enough. And you will gain the capacity to love again.

When you do, devour every piece of it — unforgivably.

May you be willing to open your heart to love and other company.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Celia Sinclair’s transition from one feeling to another is smooth and skillful, and the despair gives way to anger and then inevitability. The stories woven through the poems are heart-wrenching but there was a ray of hope.” Cloie Belle Daffon for Readers’ Favorite

⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This book is everything you would expect from the title, though this doesn’t make it predictable—far from it. The poems are written in a casual style, providing glimpses of Sinclair’s road with relationships, a road which may resonate with those intimately familiar with the highs and lows of love… The vicissitudes of love, and other company, permeate each page of this collection. It’s as if love was viewed from different angles, times, and stages, on a journey. As Sinclair fell into love, narrating a moment or two in simple wording, so too did I; this gave the book a relatable edge.” Sarah Schmidt for www.onlinebookclub.org
