Review:

This is a non-fiction account of one man's history and relationship with the woman of his youth whom he was always loved. It begins in early life as they meet, then as a couple later in high school and eventual breakup shortly after finishing school. Each move on and create lives for themselves only to meet again later in life.

This story seems like it was written by the author for the author. There are many times you read a book and ask the question for whom was this intended? This book seems like it was written as a cathartic process for the author himself.  

While reading you feel that you are being allowed a small viewing into the writer's feelings as he shares his history, joy, love, anguish, fear and loss. There are moments in the story when I questioned why some parts were included because they felt so personal. The author is sharing not just his story, but also his love's and both their families’ stories too. I’m leaving out actual details of the story because of the spoiler factor.

So, who would enjoy this book? If you enjoy romance novels then this is a story you should read. It doesn't read with the flair of these novels, but authenticity is stronger than fiction. Possibly another audience would be those who have lived through or contemplating exploring a lost or path not chosen.

  1. Good morning Ronni, When Debbie passed, I asked her girls if they would like for me to write about their mom and I. They unanimously said, yes. When the draft was done I told them if there was anything they didn't like, I'd gladly remove it since it was their mom.They made no major changes. Was it cathartic to write? Yes. I enjoyed traveling back in time and recounting all of our shared memories. Thank you for the wonderful review.
