 It’s not everyday that you pick up a book
of an author’s intimate confessions.

 

Los Angeles, CA – Dubbed a semi-autobiographical read, The Pink Forest: A Woman’s Intimate Confessions (Banderae Publishing, $14.95, ISBN: 978-0-9798592-0-5) by Dana Dorfman quickly moves the reader off Fiction Street and into the writer’s evolution.  The struggle of an author trying to come out of her pages is apparent in this feeling based journey.  Far from a sexual confessional, the author implores readers to unfasten their emotional seatbelts as her story explodes the myth that our conscience has the last word.

The bulk of this plot takes the reader to different realities.  Set in the backdrop of Oscar Season, a studio executive’s assistant opts to leave the whirl of dress fittings and crooked bow ties to seek passion.  Her unique quest paints a silken figure who wants to bring life to her lips.  The poor red carpet timing of her excursion creates a hyper sleep state in the reader as the cynical human psyche awakens.

The engaging view of a woman stepping out of her 9 to 5 self is captivating.  Her graceful acknowledgment of being a woman tired of reporting for moral duty and a timid woman who fires her conscience are courageous marks in this feminine read.  It is through this play of character and shared reflection that the author takes the reader deep into the female mystique, a place rarely visited.

The author’s ability to fling her heavy bag of morals over her shoulder to write her narrative is the true charm of her pages.  Glancing into her book, it is her final reflection.

The Pink Forest is written in the language of emotion.  The author's writing style is punctuated by curves of reality and tantalizing inner monologues showing the unbridgeable distance between herself and her conscience.  Nowhere is this more concisely expressed than in the beauty of her intimate confessions.  The sensuality of enchantment is the magic potion of these pages but the state of existence beneath the appearance of this book is its mysticism and enlightening thought.  The Pink Forest is more than a bundle of ferns and this book is far from daily ramblings.

Dorfman is an author who gravitates to the signs of life.  In tune to the emotions surrounding her, she insists she can still see the first star she wished upon.  Dorfman was raised as an only child and has been writing since the age of four.  She graduated from the University of Southern California and considers herself a “life writer” who is able to tap into the blush of the earth.

Dorfman resides in Los Angeles with her mystical spirit.
