Can a woman's strength be her weakness? Can women get to an independent point that only hurts because they never learned how to let someone care for them? Meet Iris Quintero, an overworked, over-tired, twenty-three year old who has suffered more loss than most can handle. After years of solitude, prosperity dedication for her mother and sisters, and an innocent introduction to a 'friend of a friend', Police Officer Jason Anderson, her world was turned upside down. Their lives had way more in common than either realized but their paths never crossed sooner because they were destined to be apart! Taking years to publish, Forever Iris was the first novel ever written by Erika Ruiz at the tender age of nineteen. When asked why it took so long, author replies laughing 'I couldn't seem to get it perfect enough to share. I know I wanted to continue the story of this family and had to leave it hanging perfectly.' If you love how this story goes, continue the trilogy in upcoming release 'Not Over You.'
