Book Description
"In a perfect world, we would never have a broken heart...but ours is not a perfect world...so I write the words you may never read and share them with those who will understand...until the world is perfect...again."

With our busy lives, with the text message, the email, the cell phone—we communicate at lightening speed, but rarely talk anymore. Technology is an amazing thing, but it cannot touch us in those places deep in our hearts and souls where only another human being can touch us.

In a Perfect World is a compilation of many emotional writings. In these pages, you will see the full range of emotion—from love to hatred, from fear to peace. Every reader will easily find something that can can relate to events in their own lives. The goal of the author is to touch readers in those places in the heart and soul that may not have been touched in a very long time.

From the Back Cover

Why I Write

Take a walk with me
Down this street that is in my mind
Past the houses, past the sidewalks
Past the children's playgrounds and ball parks
Walk past all the things you see
And wander into my memories

The past, the present, the future

All rolled into one event

Inside myself I control my destiny

Beyond the physical boundaries

Into that part deep in my soul

Lingering in places only I know


When you read the words

Written and meant to be shared

You touch this place inside

Experience the tears I've cried

See the love and anger too

The disappointments and dreams come true


I don't write for me

And I don't even write for you

I write because I'm compelled

To share a story I must tell

It's not a talent I have been given

It is ordained, predetermined

I write because I have no choice

I write because God gave me the voice


For every heart my words will touch
And for my own heart too
I write to share compassion
I write with fevered passion
To show the world the human side
Of conflict, anger, pain and pride


Summary

In a Perfect World, A Series on Lost Love and Redemption, is a book of prose, poetry, and short stories of a poignant or philosophical nature, relating to the subject of lost love, redemption from the past and learning from one's mistakes. The book takes you through a journey from the depths of despair, through acceptance and understanding, and leaves you finally with that feeling of redemption, where the world may not always be the way we plan, but in the end, everything does have a purpose and meaning.


This book is a compliation of over 20 years worth of writing on this subject of lost love and redemption. Beginning with the following dedication:


To my biggest fan, my muse,
and my best friend,
who all just happen
to be the same person.


We start the reading adventure with the understanding that, even in this work, the love of someone very special has inspired and driven the writings inside the pages of the book. Moving through other selected pieces, such as the title piece, In a Perfect World, and then to a piece in the middle of the book entitled Embrace the Night, we see how love begins and then ends, and swirls into the darkness. As the darkness lifts, we find pieces entitled Perception, Courage and Overcome that clearly show how the past is beginning to redeem itself.


With the final piece, entitled The End, we can clearly see that while the future is unclear, things are indeed changing, and perhaps we even find a little bit of hope.

"And I wait. Not knowing what I am waiting for, not knowing what the next moments will bring when I hear that door open. Not knowing what the future holds for my life, but feeling as though something is changing, something I have no control over... It has come to an end. And so it all begins again."


In a Perfect World retails for $9.95 USD, but you can purchase it from Amazon.com, the author's website, or the publisher's website at discounted prices.


With exceptional reviews from those who have read the book, and the general consensus that In a Perfect World will take you on an emotional journey of highs and lows, this book is an excellent choice to add to any collection of poetry and prose. Pick up your copy today!
