Welcome back to my 6-sentence snippet series from my book, Portrait of Woman in Ink: A Tattoo Storybook. Over the next 6 weeks, I will be sharing with you snippet from each chapter. (Click here to see last week’s snippet)
Today we meet Sarah, an almost-forty woman looking to get her first tattoo after recreating her life after her emotionally abusive ex-husband, in an attempt to get back to her roots.
It had taken a long time to get here, but she loved living simply, with a great new group of friends, a new career, everything he’d convinced her wasn’t worth her time. Now, if she could just get back to her old friends. Those friends in the middle – Jason’s friends – they’d just been filler, and they’d disappeared when her money had.
That was what the Celtic scroll meant to her. She could trace the interlaced lines of the scroll, weave them through an intricate path of knots, and end up back at the beginning, where things were simple and clean. It had been a long, jumbled series of paths that had led her here, but she was finally back; she was ready.
That’s all for today! Be sure to check out some of the other talented people over at www.SixSunday.com, and come back to visit next week!
I love the analogy of the celtic knot-work to her life. Really nice imagery.
I agree with Clare. Using the tattoo to show her changing psychology is really lovely.
Thank you, ladies! I appreciate you taking the time to read it!
This is lovely, and I love the premise for the book itself. 🙂
