BREATHING FROM THE HEAD. "I was a lonely writer locked away, absorbing rejection slips, breathing clumsily from my head. I met someone who changed my life. She helped me learn to breathe from my heart. I want to understand how she did that-and what it means. I want to strengthen our future by writing about our past, to better appreciate how we fell in love, how we grew together, how we create meaning in our relationship to keep it alive during hard times. I hope this true romance speaks to something beyond us. I hope it testifies that love isn't some mysterious power to be found "out there," but a vital, breathing force within us that we must create-and share-with one another." - From the Author's Preface.
