After Searching For True Love For Years, Sharon Black-Smith Finds It and Writes New Novel, Finding True Love, To Point Others In Right Direction

Sharon Black-Smith writes about some of the problems middle age women and men face following divorce. According to the author, dating in your late thirty's and early forty's can be hell, and Finding True Love addresses these issues. "Ladies and gentlemen, don't give up because true love really is out there. After reading Finding True Love, I believe you will know where to start looking," says Black-Smith.

Birmingham, AL (PRWEB) June 21, 2007 -- Finding true love is something everyone seeks for themselves, but few obtain or even know how to begin to make that journey to the purest bliss imaginable.

In the new novel, Finding True Love, Roxee White, a 37 year-old nurse is faced with a lot of soul searching, panic driven pain and heartache in her quest to find true love.

"Finding true love is obtainable. Trust me," says Black-Smith. "Don't miss the opportunity to see how Roxee handles her divorce and her exciting and shocking experiences when she is thrust out into the real world alone."

According to Black-Smith, Roxee knows she deserves to be happy and in love, so she will settle for nothing less.

She had been a good wife and mother for 19 years and she isn't willing to give up on love just because Bobby found some "young floozy" to share his bed. So... she develops a "five-year goal" plan that starts a whirlwind in her life that turns it inside out.

She wants to be debt-free, save for retirement, loose weight, help her son and daughter achieve college educations, have a relationship with God and fall in love again; not necessarily in that order, since she first directs all her energy towards falling in love again.

When she meets Alfred, a 39-year-old successful business owner 4 months after her divorce becomes final, she will think she hit the lottery.

She is amazed at how attentive and generous he is to her and how "fine and manly" he is. And most importantly, he's single.

He wines and dines her like she is the Queen of Sheba or someone of equal importance from the very start. During the first year of being pampered, petted, spoiled and lavished with riches, Roxee discovers Alfred's jealous streak.

Instead of dealing with Alfred's problem head on, she retreats back into her "passive" mode like she had been with Bobby for so many years. She's turned off now, so the journey continues.

She avoids the problem all together and starts a relationship with Mike, a 26 year-old tall muscular maintenance worker at the hospital.

Mike is a street-wise playa with enormous swagger that is used to being taken care of by women. Poor Roxee; she doesn't have a clue as to what she is opening herself up to.

He is nothing like Alfred or Bobby. Bobby is a cheapskate, but he paid their bills and took care of their kids.

Alfred showers her with expensive jewelry, exotic trips and money. Mike pays for absolutely nothing, but somehow she manages to fall madly in love with him. Go figure. The journey continues.
