Inside you will find a heartwarming collection of 4 short stories; they are the perfect length for your lunch break or traveling. Whether nestled in the chest of a burley lumberjack or a delicate ballerina, the human heart needs to both give and receive love. Our physical needs are simple, such as food, water and shelter, but our emotional needs are very complicated. There are many types of love, e.g., a mother for her child, the emotional bond between two lovers, or a human for a beloved pet. Love is not easily defined and, whatever you consider it to be, I think you will agree that love sustains our emotional health and wellbeing. The four stories in this book center on love and the relationship it births. Rescue Me is about the connection formed between a woman and her dog. In The River, two Millennials develop a deep bond after nearly giving up on finding their soul mates. Wilderness Honeymoon turns a chance encounter into a dangerous confrontation that tests two newlyweds' commitments to each other. And Saving Clinton is a fictional account of two Secret Service Agents that must resolve the conflict between romance and their sworn duty. Just as in real life, the characters must face and overcome adversity in their quest for love and happiness.
