Naomi Jo Rush new book of poetry, I Kissed a Frog and My

Prince Forgave Me, is a well-crafted poetic journey through

infidelity.

Naomi reveals the most vulnerable time in her married life.

Her poetry teaches us that married couples tend to forget

about each others needs and become absorbed in habitual

day-to-day behavior. While she strained for the attention that

her husband would not or could not provide Naomi put on a

performance of a happily content wife, when she was really

screaming with frustration inside.

Her confusion ripens with the prospect of temptation. The

thrill of spontaneity coupled with feeling of being desired

draws Naomi to her lover like a drowning person would

desperately clutch at a lifeline.

Craving for her husband to notice the change and

discovering she never wanted the marriage to end prompts

Naomi to confess her wrong doings. When it is all revealed,

Naomi endures the torturous guilt while watching her

husband writhe in the pain she inflicted upon him.

In the end, I think Naomi provides hope for us all in showing

us the reasons and effects of infidelity by walking us through

the steps of recovering a marriage. I felt encouraged that

marriages have a chance of thwarting this common mistake

if we show one another love and open the channels of

communication .We can thrive in a world of strife and

temptation.
