A LOVE STORY TO REMEMBER
Deirdre & Lee
Sometimes a book will bring us something unexpected. For me… Well, here’s the review ~
When I was younger, pre-high school up to twenty-five, I enjoyed romance stories. Specifically, True Romance. I didn’t and haven’t read “romance” as a genre.
But… the minute I started reading Dear Heart I sat up straight, my eyes popped open and my ears perked. I’d never read anything like it.
It’s about two people who meet at work and fall into a torrid love affair. I don’t like slut or porn. It turns me off. The thing is, while reading this book I knew it was wrong, but the descriptions were mesmerizing. It wasn’t the thrill of sneaking around doing naughty things that excited me, it was the words that rolled off the lips-of-my-ears with a sort of lyrical love-dance that pulled me into the story.
They ended their affair for the sake of others….
The beauty of the story isn’t all about the words, though they are the biggest part of it for me. Still, without the tremendous love between Deirdre and Lee, there wouldn’t have been a story. It’s beautiful in that as old age creeps in, we see that the excitement of their love has never died, and their love makes it just a fresh as when they first met.

Thank you, Kathleen. You’re beautiful review took my breath away and made me swell with pride. Your reaction was everything I hoped for while I was writing Dear Heart and, although I am shamelessly proud, the fact is that the words are Deirdre’s. I was just the scribe.
I wrote exactly what I felt as I read your words. I’m still amazed at how your mind worked while writing this. You put yourself into Deirdre’s mind, and I guess that’s what writing is all about. Just like the times when I used to go into Barnes and Noble to find a good read and I’d search out my favorite authors, you’re on the top of my list.
