Scars And Stripes
Show notes
At 27, Cassie was ready for a little more adventure, excitement and romance. Fresh out of an eight-year relationship, she was embracing single life when a handsome American named Tom appeared on Tinder.
Charming, attentive and incredibly generous, Tom swept her off her feet with extravagant dates, romantic gestures and promises of a future together. It was everything she'd been looking for—and more.
But as their whirlwind romance progressed, small cracks began to appear in their seemingly perfect relationship.
What follows is a powerful story about love, trust and the lengths we go to protect the future we've imagined—even when the reality starts to look very different.
