I Thee Fled

Marriage had always been an enigma for Sabrina. Growing up in a townhouse complex of children raised by single mothers with absentee fathers, even the idea of playing marriage made her balk. She never understood the allure of “happily ever after.” As she grew, her experiences with the opposite sex confirmed to her she was “not the marrying type,” but gave her pause to question: could she ever be the marrying type, and, what was the marrying type? Through five different relationships and five very different proposals—all of which she refused—Sabrina explored these questions and began a journey of self-discovery. In the end, through hard, heartbreaking, and sometimes humorous experiences, Sabrina’s wit and heart guided her to find who she was—a woman, a lover, a friend, a mother—if not yet ready to be a called a wife.
