Rejected: Essays on Belonging

In Rejected, acclaimed journalist and screenwriter Michelle Fiordaliso illuminates the kind of quiet heartbreaks and epiphanies that can punctuate a life. As a collection, these essays tell the story of a woman's decades-long journey towards wholeness and belonging. But every piece also charts a journey of its own, and often a geographic one. From Los Angeles traffic to the basement of a famous bakery in Paris, each place is an unforgettable setting for personal transformation.

Rejected is a must-read for lovers of nature and travel, seekers of healing, and anyone who's ever struggled to alchemize loss and unworthiness into deep self-love.
