In her fourth book, Merle Shain explores the subject of modern love. With great care she lances some of the illusions held by individuals on the wrong path, including fantasy, high expectations, and narcissism. Her poetic ruminations about love, commitment, and caring in interpersonal relationships speak to the heart. You will see yourself in these pages and, thanks to the author's wonderful way with words, you'll see all you could become as a person in love as well.
