Absolution Or Death by Jason William Lesage

Sachi Kubo-Sanchez is a woman on a quest. A forty-something mother of two, she leaves her lackluster marriage and her conservative hometown, neither of which she ever felt like she belonged in, and moves to New York City. After a repressed childhood trauma resurfaces, Sachi seeks the help of a therapist, whereupon she meets numerous dissociated aspects of her consciousness that have gone missing, including her inner child she calls Sunshine. She sets herself on a mission to find her missing aspects, heal her trauma, reintegrate her psyche, and strive for wholeness and understanding.

Along her journey, Sachi struggles to balance her role as a mother with her newfound sexuality, including all the complexities, dangers, and confusing acronyms that come with online dating, all while managing a job she wasn’t prepared for, and facing her own familial demons that are unearthed. Armed with her sense of humor and the support of her friends, she learns how to accept the parts of herself that carry shame and guilt. Despite the unpredictable turns that her life takes, Sachi finds the courage and strength within to face her greatest fears and move forward in life’s great adventure.
