About
Emma Lawrence was one of those women who seemed to have everything her way: beauty, blarney, and an insatiable hunger for expansiveness. From an undistinguished background, she pieced together a life of affluence through her enchantresses of wealthy men and then moving on once they had served their purpose. Each relationship had been strategic in her relentless pursuit of money and status.
But when Emma meets Victor, a man whose charm and sophistication meet her own ambition, this carefully constructed world begins to unravel. It is his insinuations of even greater riches that set her on a course of deceit entailing investment of all she has, both financially and emotionally, into it, only to find out too late that she is played.
She is stripped of her money and marooned by the very man whom she held in trust. Now, Emma faces only one thing: the cold reality of her choices. And having no money, with no roof over her head, she returns to her old neighborhood, a place riddled with whispers and condemnation. She must now start life all over again from scratch, taking up a job at some small café and learning very fast the virtues of hard work and humility.
As redemption starts unfolding for Emma, she finds herself having to fight through haunting memories from her past and the men wronged by her. In healing herself, she sows a path that is challenging but lays the foundation to find the right connections and gives meaning to her life-hitherto unknown to her.
" Voluptueux et Bon Vivre: Every Woman's Want " is a suspenseful, at the same time deftly heartfelt story of ambition, downfall, and the painful climb towards redemption. In the case of Emma, it goes on to prove that while pursuit of luxury may be destructive, the search for meaning and integrity will lead to a richer, fuller life.
