If you have experienced the bitter agony of a broken heart, or if your relationship with the "love of your life" ultimately evaporated before your eyes, then this book can be of great value to you. This writing was born out of dreadful despair resulting from the failed relationships of my own experience. It is as much of an autobiography as anything; a tragic tale of failure and disappointment which is not unique to me. It is the story of a desperate quest of discovery, of what it really means to love somebody, and to be loved by another. Ultimately, it is a true love story. A story of a man and woman, who for decades struggled in their separate lives to find authentic, genuine love. There are many stories written on the pages which follow. Most of these are from my own life. Some are sad, and others, are tragic. This is a book about what works, what does not work, and why. It is about one thing: What love really is... and is not.
