If you are reading these words, then you are obviously looking at the back cover of this book, most likely in order to get an idea of what the story is about so you can make an informed decision as to whether or not it is worth spending time to read it. Well, as the writer, even though I'm not going to say anything about the plot, except to mention that it contains a love story - no, make that two love stories where the lives of two couples became so intertwined that there would not have been any story if that hadn't taken place. But I'll say no more about what's within these pages and will simply quote the advice given by one of the characters to another when it comes to finding love in the hope that it will pique your curiosity, "...family and our love for each other are truly the only things of importance as we live our lives. You've ignited a spark between you that is now glowing brightly. Please remember to always nourish the flame as it brings warmth to your lives." If you do decide to read this book, then I hope you will like the story and that you will find it to be as interesting and entertaining as I found it to be while I was writing it, especially after finally discovering how it ends which, for the characters, however, was more like a beginning. Now, I suppose that is a strange thing for an author to say but, as I found while writing my first novel, "The Third Planet," unlike many professional writers who can outline a complete story from beginning to end before actually writing the first word, in my case, as a mere amateur at this writing business, I'm actually reading the story for the first time as I'm writing it. It's as if all I had to do was to start the first chapter, after which the characters took over becoming, as it were, the true authors of this book whereby I was merely the means of their getting their story on paper, the reward for which was to be the first to know the plot. May you have as much pleasure in reading this book as I had in writing it. J. V. Perrone
