My experience with Mercier’s work has been that each new reading brings new understanding of my own journey that is shared with all women everywhere throughout time.”
— Vickie Adair, Author and Editor
In her first work, Kristina Mercier chronicles a story of transformation and reconciliation in the life of a woman named Red. Using collected writings from her own life experiences and a letter correspondence between Red and a character named Blue Morpho, this unique book tells a tale of love that is moving and profound.
If you’ve known great joy and some loss, from living and loving, her writing will speak to you. It will open you to the natural cycle of life, the giving and taking, and the courage and wisdom that comes from the common experiences that connect us all – finding a life of our own, and loving. No matter where you find yourself in love – this book inspires.
