In America the freedom to love, to live, to choose, to cherish, to heal, to reach beyond marriage to enrich it, has become lost in the environment of the practical, except by some who courageously dare to seek greater happiness, liberty, peace and joy as they struggle to built their world out of the ashes of that which once was, but is no more. What sets the fiction in the story apart from the conventional, is its developing daring to look beneath the surface and explore the brighter aspects of our humanity that have been kept artificially dark. The exploration is powered by a deep-reaching honesty with oneself in numerous interlocking dimensions, some with a thread of sex and romance running through, and a touch of the erotic. The novel is also focused on politics and a wider marriage on a path where both become overlaid with the Principle of Universal Love.
