The Colors of Us

Olivia Carter never imagined she’d be starting over at fifty-five. Two months before the pandemic, she walked away from a loveless marriage, seeking solace and rediscovery in her vibrant hobbies and quiet solitude. Alone for the first time in decades, Olivia finds comfort in sewing, cooking, and losing herself in intricate coloring books—small joys that fill her days and quiet her doubts.

But when the world shuts down, Olivia forms an unexpected online connection with Victor Santiago—a charming Hispanic widower with a love for culinary adventures and shared prayers.

Through screens and messages, their bond deepens as they discover a shared passion for food, music, and dancing. The rhythms of salsa and ballroom bring them closer, blending their African American and Hispanic cultures through vibrant traditions. Victor’s warm humor and gentle wisdom help Olivia embrace her newfound independence and the possibility of love again. As the pandemic tests their resilience, their relationship strengthens, leading to a love neither of them expected but both desperately need.

Can Olivia and Victor overcome their past heartaches and embrace this second chance at love? Or will their fears of vulnerability keep them apart?

The Colors of Us is a heartfelt journey of rediscovery, resilience, and romance, where love proves it’s never too late to color your world anew.
