Dardenne Prairie, MO, March 06, 2011 --(PR.com)-- “We stand at the beginning of a new year – or a new relationship, a new job, or even a simple drive out in the country – and we imagine the road ahead, as if we could see clear and straight. As if there were no bends in the road that seemingly come out of nowhere.” These words from the book’s forward provide a haunting preview of the author’s story of love and heartbreak.
