This book is for all persons who are sexually active, or about to be, whether male or female, married or single, for all ages above puberty, and in particularly for parents. Warning: This book may invoke strong sentiments. Some readers were unable to cope with these sentiments when a beloved principle character dies. They chose not to finish the book. When death comes to those we love, it is only normal that we feel pain and sorrow. It's not the same as reading in the newspaper about the death of some unknown person. From those who finished the book, we heard "well done." One of the greatest stories of all times, Romeo and Juliet, dealt with incidents of death. And love. Death Defined as the name implies, involves scenes of death. It is also about love. Love between characters. Love of home. Love of country. Love of God. And love of the law. Death sometimes serves a purpose. As do the deaths in this book, as you are certain to perceive as you continue, Death Defined has an agenda. It is truly a "sign of our times." . . . About the Cover. . . Most of us will recognize the hands from the Sistine Chapel, the hand of God reaching out to the hand of man, signifying the creation of man. On our cover, we have inserted the Scales of Justice insinuating that God has given man his first set of laws. Through the ages, man has modified that law to suit his own needs. Sometimes the two sets of law can come into conflict.
