Fire When They Talk

These writings expose readers to the possible torment a person can experience in a romantic relationship. Part Two focuses on positive love encounters when experienced in platonic relationships, upholding the idea that love can be found with friends, strangers, and in the fleeting moments of our lives.

Readers aren't alone if they are experiencing abuse. The author inspires individuals to find the strength to leave abusive relationships and understand love is lurking all around us. This does not equate to bashing men, or romantic relationships in general, but a documentation of personal involvement in a toxic partnership. As some stories will show, the author wasn't entirely innocent or compassionate during this cadence of their life.

Fire When They Talk is Ivy Forest's debut collection of short stories and poems.
