About the Book Debuting with Alegria Publishing, Before I Say Goodbye is a poetic play in five acts that invites the reader into the story of an Aries Brujita & classic Virgo crashing into each other. The book is filled with Easter eggs for readers to decipher, and poems calling and answering each other throughout. Before I Say Goodbye is the roadmap for anyone who has ever been afraid to leave a relationship. You cannot love someone into loving you, but you can love yourself enough to say goodbye to them and to start saying hello to yourself.
