Book preview Single Sashimi: Successful, Hot, Sharp yet in need of healing. Sound familiar?

Today, some sunshine in my life, good friend, Camy Tang guest blogs to share with us a preview of her third book, "Single Sashimi." Our heroine on paper has a life that most would envy, and yet she is in need to heal a part of her that is deeply wounded. Yes, this is almost like reading my autobiography.

Actually, I do have a credit in the book for helping Camy with some background information about the technology industry where are heroine roams. Welcome Camy!

Many times, we can’t move forward in life until we undergo some type of healing from our past. It doesn’t necessarily mean healing from some horrific abuse or devastating tragedy. Sometimes it’s healing from something small but significant.

I just finished reading Sunset by Karen Kingsbury. The core of the story is redemption. Things coming full circle.A couple on the brink of divorce has to undergo healing from something in their past that they thought they’d already dealt with. The man had to earnestly and honestly seek forgiveness for an act of selfishness.

It seemed like something trivial until the man realized that his actions had deprived his wife of her last words to her father and caused her tarnished reputation among her friends and family. Once they could face that moment and forgive, their rocky relationship came full circle and they could move forward toward healing.

In my latest novel, Single Sashimi, my heroine seems to have everything—great job, fabulous looks, sharp mind. But in the end, it doesn’t mean squat because she never found healing for that hidden part of her soul—the part she never shows to anyone, the part that’s so tender and vulnerable that she never risks being hurt again.

 When she has reached the end of herself, when she’s forced to hold that delicate part of her and face the pain and find healing, that’s when she’s finally at peace.

I don’t know anyone who’s had a completely pain-free life. Some people might have more pain than others, or different types of pain.Also, people are different. An event that might cause pain to one person might not cause pain to another. Just because you’re hurt by something and someone else isn’t doesn’t make your pain any less valid. 

But everyone can find healing so they can move on. The key is to pinpoint what you need healing from. Friends and family can help. Maybe your church or pastor. Or maybe just your own intense reflection, being honest with yourself. 

Whoever you turn to, seek healing. It will probably be painful, but it’s like ripping off a bandage—it hurts for a while, but then it’s better to expose the wound to light and fresh air. So it can heal. So you can heal. 

I’m praying that all of you reading this will find your healing. Come visit my website as I'm throwing an exciting contest right now. I'm giving away ten boxes of books and 30 copies of, Single Sashimi.
