An Ordinary Life - Karen Smith

Meg was a sensitive girl of good parentage, grounded by a traditional upbringing, enriched with good morals and mutual respect. She thrived on love and understanding to guide her through the trials of adolescence, filled with eccentricities and intricate observation. Unaware of her own uniqueness and talent, Meg had little control over her personal choices - was her life a consequence of this? Romance and motherhood were turbulent as Meg strived for the perfect loving relationship, marrying her first and only sexual encounter, believing this to be love. The consequences of an unsatisfactory marriage carried her off into a world of confusion and dissatisfaction, giving way to weakness and depression, stunted only by the pleasures and rewards of motherhood. Her life was on hold - her true persona hidden and away from the outside world as she gave to everyone but herself in the belief that one day she would be free. Would life offer her the love she desperately craved or would there be a price to pay for a gilded shot at happiness?
