Poignant story of a woman’s shyness and insecurity as a youth, lack of confidence in her life’s work, and grief and suffering her partner’s death resulting in a devastating writer’s block of over six years. All overcome by her attraction to the theater, her writing, and the generous loving support of her partner. Through all the struggles she overcame her insecurities and realized her purpose in life. Remembering her husband’s support enabled her to regain her confidence and start writing again.
