She was the first contestant ever to write and perform her own original songs, refusing to be pigeonholed by stylists and producers. Viewers fell for her unmanufactured, anti-pop princess stance, and the tabloids loved her.Then , suddenly, mid-way through the live shows, Lucy dropped out. The public were told Lucy was unwell.Now, for the first time, Lucy is ready to tell her story, in her own words.Process is a book about the vicious impact of trauma across a lifetime; it is about Lucy's successes and mistakes, her journey towards sobriety, calm and something like peace.

     Char thought she had a perfect life. She was married to a successful surgeon who was kind, committed, and willing to provide Char with anything that made her happy. What made her happy, besides her perfect marriage, was her dressage horse, Mystic, (never mind the cost). And now that a new trainer was moving to Blue Ribbon from Hamburg, Germany, she would have the ability to take her dressage riding to the highest level possible. With everything going so perfectly, Char shouldn’t have had any reason not to be happy. But something had been missing in her relationship with Dr. Kelley, (otherwise known around the hospital as “Dr. Dreamy”), and she couldn’t figure out what it was. 
       When Char finally met Petra, the new dressage trainer, Char became more than just a little star-struck. She was, quite frankly, infatuated, and wanted to spend every waking second at the barn…and with her. What was going on?  
       At first, Char thought it was her fascination with the foreign trainer from Germany who was riding at the Olympic level. But when Petra gave Char a goodbye kiss that was more reminiscent of a French kiss than a platonic one, Char was forced to take a look at what was really going on inside her. Char may not have wanted to take a hard look at herself and risk screwing up her near-perfect life, but having Petra so close ultimately forced the issue if Char ever wanted to move forward and find true happiness. 
       Char was afraid of the answer. What would happen to her and her perfect life? How would she be able to afford her privileged lifestyle and her horse (including the dressage lessons,) that she had grown so accustomed to enjoying?  
       Perhaps she was simply going through a mid-life crisis or was in awe of the new trainer from Germany. Ultimately, Char knew she must find out. She became more afraid of not knowing, than of what the truth might reveal.

    From USA Today Bestselling author Marley Valentine comes her debut, bisexual awakening, age gap, sapphic romance.  
    At twenty-four, I’d already lived a thousand lives. 
    I was a daughter. 
    An orphan. 
    A foster kid. 
    A sister. 
    Someone to everyone, and yet I was unrecognizable to myself. I spent my time keeping everybody else afloat, while I was slowly drowning. 
    Until I met her. 
    The first time she walked into my life, I was mesmerized by the mysterious stranger. When I came face-to-face with her a second time, I was being introduced to my best friend’s mother. 
    We were worlds and experiences apart, unlikely in every sense of the word. 
    Everything between us was unexpected. Our attraction to one another, the secrets I shared, and the cracked pieces of her I so badly wanted to put back together. 
    We broke. 
    We healed. 
    We loved. 
    Desperately. 
    But I didn’t know how to love her without losing myself, and if she discovered the cost, I knew she wouldn’t let me.
