MENtal

Deanna remembered how swept away she felt as she danced to a medley of Latin music in the arms of her handsome partner. She thought that's what forever was supposed to be like. Years later, at 36, after having been through countless dates with men, she found herself still single and now unemployed. Her life was the polar opposite of the married and happily-ever-after one she had always envisioned.

The daily grind was replaced by frittered time in an emotional abyss, fixated on being perpetually single, losing her job, and all the things Deanna felt she had done wrong. When enough was enough, she decided to use the time to try to shift her mindset to a more positive direction. She committed to renovating herself while unearthing and writing her story, MENtal, A Preposterous Pursuit of Love-something that she'd started and abandoned many times. Would Deanna be able to find the man of her dreams?

Set in the D.C. area, Deanna narrates her journey through humor, courage, and poignancy against a backdrop of music and dance, while sharing lessons learned on how to really know and transform oneself to live a fulfilling life.

Full of unbelievable dating and career moments with unexpected twists, MENtal, A Preposterous Pursuit of Love is a riveting memoir of extraordinary circumstances and emotional extremes that even the most far-fetched fiction couldn't tell.
