Brave Love: Alexia’s Journey

People can heal from the greatest losses.

In an inspiring blend of love, betrayal, suspense, growth and healing, Erika Nelson crafts a story of one woman’s journey from darkness to light. Pain to peace.

As a child, Alexia Drake lived through the heartbreak of losing her mother in a mysterious accident. An only child, she was forced to live under her father’s overwhelming judgment and pressure. She was groomed from a young age to become an asset to his law firm, the top in Chicago. She worked hard and sacrificed much to become the successful attorney he demanded. A force in the courtroom, she learned well how to use her looks and intellect to get their clients results.

Tired of living a life that no longer fit her, she ended a mediocre engagement and bought herself a sailboat and a townhouse overlooking Lake Michigan. She was no longer willing to settle for someone else’s dreams, determined to live a passionate, vibrant life on her terms.

Chris Valesarian is the opposite of mediocre in every way. He enters her life, sweeps her off her feet and showers her with more love and devotion than she dreamed possible. Alexia comes alive, opening herself up completely to him. As she embraces their adventures together, the red flags she is missing soon begin to pile up on top of her. Over the course of one day, her life as she knew it was washed away. But could she ever truly get free of it?

Follow Alex on her courageous journey which takes her from big-city Chicago to the beaches, local establishments and hidden wooded trails of Door County, Wisconsin.
