*********************************************

Sara doesn’t live a reckless, wild London life. She does live with a wildness, though, an unrestrainable and ferocious flurry of thoughts. She wants nothing more than to love fiercely and impolitely, even if the thought of being physical conjures anxiety as well as yearning.

When she starts dating Miles, they don’t touch. She desires him, but she knows the limits of her body. Miles respects her boundaries, though he longs for them to melt away.

As they grow closer, she must ask herself, how do you love someone when you feel like your body is not your own?
