Bright red lipstick is her trademark. Charlotte is obsessed with her scarlet lip rouge. It is what she clings to and hides behind, and is the only thing that makes her feel good besides vodka in a mini bottle.

Charlotte is in love with love. She tiptoes on the edges of the love cliff, but never takes the plunge. Gorgeous enough and smart enough to be in a relationship she is afraid to open her heart. She did once and Mason broke it; or so she thinks. Sadly, her best friends are a rubber duck and a diary she calls Raja.

When Charlotte bumps into Mason her long lost love from eleven years ago, she runs away again. Without her dear friend Andrew, Charlotte may not pull out of the emotional trauma. Her crushed heart may never recover unless she confronts the ghost of her past and deals with the realities of the present.

This touching love story wends its way through the ups and downs of Charlotte's life. Can Charlotte face her demons and look for inner peace. Charlotte is ready to face the world, and Mason. Can they get together and resolve their passion? Can Charlotte's story end with joy?

Based on a true story.
