Falling In Love When You Thought You Were Through: A Love Story

Przednia okładka
Harper Collins, 30 lis 2010 - 256

From Jill Robinson, the author of Past Forgetting, comes a true story, coauthored with her husband, the English writer Stuart Shaw, about finding love when they both thought they were through with romance.

When Stuart and Jill first met, neither felt like a poster child for serious love. Stuart was recovering from the alcoholism that had wrecked his marriage and ravaged his career. Jill was recovering from a second failed marriage and believed she was done with love forever.

But then, in a crowded Connecticut diner, at about midnight, Jill caught Stuart's eye and shot him a look that said, I'm designed for you. Immediately drawn to Jill, Stuart asked, Would you like to come to my place for a cup of tea sometime?

What follows is a journey toward commitment. You hear it from both points of view: his and hers. If you've ever felt that your opportunity for love was gone, here's the lively story of the creation of a passionate marriage that will fill your heart with joy and hope.

Strona 102 - Words are like leaves; and where they most abound, Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.
Strona 76 - ... or billow beat: Lo, as the purple shadow swept the sands, The prudent crocodile rose on his feet And shed appropriate tears and wrung his hands. What can it mean? you ask. I answer not For meaning, but myself must echo, What? And tell it as I saw it on the spot. CHRISTINA ROSSETTI, 'My Dream', 1855 One hot night a leopard came into my room and lay down on the bed beside me.
Strona 129 - I don't know where we went wrong But the feeling's gone And I just can't get it back
Strona 10 - Until one day I got sick and tired of being sick and tired, and I had to ask for help from people like Trenton.
Strona 219 - Are we going on the creative soul's quest or are you going to pursue the life that only promises security? Are you going to live the heroic myth or let circumstances manage you?
