While a fictional piece of work, this historical novel is based in part on fact and extracts from a friend’s life shared, albeit with some degree of trepidation.
Author’s comment
Occasionally, a window in life opens allowing the light of ever-enduring love to shine in; a brilliant all-encompassing love.
As with all windows it must eventually close and the conscious and physical love are no more only to evolve into an energy force of unimaginable magnitude merging two soulmates to travel as one throughout eternity.
Many never experience a love such as this but those that do are indeed blessed.
