New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/21/2016 -- Lela Alize has released her debut novel – Left with Shoes. In the first part of a romantic trilogy, Left with Shoes is a gripping read, taking readers on something of an emotional rollercoaster, and filled with plenty of steamy love scenes.

A self-confessed dreamer, Lela's first step into the world of publishing comes after years of writing short stories and poems. Now, with a grown-up family, Lela has finally turned her passion into pages, with her first novel now on sale on Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Noble and all major bookstores and digital platforms.

Speaking about her decision to put 'pen to paper', Lela said "Now that my youngest is in college, I've followed by heart's passion, and written my first novel. After the marriage, and the kids, and the house, all of which I loved, I'm excited to embark on something that is purely for me, because I love doing it".

Lela's passion for shoes perhaps made the title of her first novel an obvious choice.

The novel tells the story of Mallory Hooker, as she embarks on something of a second coming-of-age journey, following the breakdown of her twenty-one-year marriage.

Alone for the first time in her adult life, Mallory is left only with her incredible shoes, as she desperately tries to re-establish her independence.

Readers follow Mallory on a turbulent journey, as she faces questions not only about exciting new love interest, Heath Morgan, but also about her future, when tragedy strikes her ex-husband.
