Punch and Cuddle
It took a year to find the courage to change the things he could change; while she found serenity to accept the things she could not. Between them, they found wisdom and an unexpected friendship connected by secrets and shame. Punch and Cuddle is the story of a three people searching for answers and acceptance.
A mother, an alcoholic and a sex worker find love when they find forgiveness. As their truths unfold, you may question what defines you and who accepts you. Sometimes you need to feel the punch before you can truly appreciate the cuddle.
