An Allegorical Love: A Love Story

We had nothing to give one another except words, every one, more than precious. Thoughtful gifts of truth. Four hundred and forty-seven days of sacrifice. We abstained from the joys of voice to force us into silence against a world of noise. Old-world correspondence rescued against a backdrop of malignant Tweets. Benign letters, flowed between two hearts who always believed in a better world. I have saved, hoarded, and gathered our dreams, a year of faith and magic. I am ready to give them back as a gift for you to share. To guide the lovers who search, to lead those who believe, to share a single beloved tale; to show the world the power of hope.

The book is merely a conversation between two strangers who became friends. That the conversation is between myself and one of the most beautiful souls I have ever met is to the benefit of the reader. She is brilliant, kind, compassionate beyond belief, with a sense of humor that's unparalleled. She is the lyricist and poet that opens every chapter. She is the inspiration behind the tale.

This is her story; this is our story.

We hope you find a path to yours as well.
