about the book

Why do some people fall in love? I mean, really in love. Forever. For always. For better or worse. Until death do they part…

Harry and Lucy first met in a candy store in an old Polish neighborhood nestled in the heart of Detroit, Michigan, a long time ago.

This is their love story… an account of a woman who found her hero and a man who embraced his angel.

From the Depression and WWII, until today and all tomorrows, Harry and Lucy face tragedy and loss, all the while embracing hopes and dreams. More than all else, they share a love not limited to this lifetime…

This is their eternal love story.
