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 other’s 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.
