"That's The Way Love Goes", as the title suggests, is a collection of short stories that explore and exalt the emotion of love in its most humbling arenas.
Each story is set in a world of unnamed characters who must deal with the inevitable trials and tribulations, rights and responsibilities, privileges and pitfalls of the universe's most compelling emotion.
Two people who want to become lost find each other in "The Meeting", a daughter forced to defend the greatest act of love in a courtroom in "The Witness", a prison guard who must rise above his station for humanity's sake in "The Letter", a young woman who must accept the events of her past so she can embrace the future in "Comin' Home", two ex-lovers who continue to fall into and out of each other's lives in "A Trip to Vaulden", a young boy leaving home cloaked only in the faith of his deceased grandmother in "Cameo", and an old bitter woman who witnesses her own birth in "The Cycle" are just a few examples of tales that will offer the reader a dazzling display of the human condition and the human heart as it struggles to balance the world in which we live and the world which lives within us.
This book sets itself apart from others in that it is based on the premise that it will be used as an emotional handbook of parables.
This book will appeal to all adults who need to know that they are not alone--not by any means, on this exciting and dangerous journey we call life.
