Opis

The emotionally powerful, coming-of-age story of a young woman. Her journey in wild New Zealand with a stranger who rocks her world and provides her unforgettable insights - if she will accept them. At the age of twenty-four, Jasmine Jacobs is practically dead inside; since she left New York a year earlier, she seems to have lost the ability to feel. Born to an abusive mother in a small, Arizona town, Jasmine grows up in solitude. She spends her early twenties trying to put the past behind her and reinvent herself. However, when she dares to follow her dream of becoming a writer in the Big Apple, she ends up back home, broke and broken. As her emotional resources are put to test, Jasmine tries to forget her ambitions and concentrates on merely surviving. When Jasmine wins a round-trip ticket to New Zealand, her life takes an unexpected turn. She meets Eli, an intriguing, local young man, who takes her to wild, beautiful Southland. Together with Eli, Jasmine experiences a new perspective on herself and on life. Eli's increasingly strange behavior gives Jasmine pause until she finally learns the truth, not only about him, but about herself. Beautifully written, Second Hand Love weaves delicate touches of the extraordinary with the everyday world, and raises probing questions about the role of family, and the ability to love. It's a story of self-revelation - of the deep truth we all share, and what it means to truly be alive.
