This is a diary of Valentina, a young observant woman who enjoys travelling and exploration (not only in literal terms) in spite of a web of concerns, fears and perfectionist ambitions she keeps facing.

Valentina is hardly a typical au pair, a typical young student and not even a typical foreigner, but this is not just a story about uniqueness. It's a story about dealing with interior complexity, sometimes watching dreams come true and making life seem more creative than it tends to seem, but most of all about living according to one's values and sometimes, maybe, learning to lose the burden of uniqueness and accepting one's imperfections.

This novel, blog or diary is based on a true story.

Valentina-Rosa young and innocent first understood the true trials and consequences of love when she met Carson Dean; though he too was young he was nowhere near innocent. Carson is a man not short of sins but he was the first man Valentina-Rosa had ever been with and so no matter what he put her through she would stick beside him because to her everything he did was an act of love. That was until one summer due to certain unfortunate events Carson had to move to the other side of the County to finish his two years of university, after spending her third year in her hometown she followed him across the county. There she saw Carson for who he truly was: a monster. She struggled her way through a world for pain, abuse, and drugs; she encountered a mistress who was probably in a worse situation than she was and she came to realize that Carson was an even worse person than she had thought him to be. But the move did her as much good as it did her harm; she made friends there, friends she will have forever and from that friend group, she met an intriguing French man. Love, at first sight, blossomed into friendship and friendship transformed itself into a beautiful relationship.
