Publisher's Synopsis
Can anyone ever truly capture someone else's passion? Lois Batchelor Howard has done just that. With keen insight, she vividly captures and expresses human emotions in her story of Gus, the kidnapper, and the two women he captures to be with him in his castle. Adrianna is an artist, Belle a musician. It is a postwar saga set in the 1940s Los Angeles and an island in Hawaii, a vital part of the story. There never is a dull moment. How it involves Auschwitz and becomes a love story of three different couples will steal your heart. Jack K. Paquette, whose books include A Boy's Journey Through the Great Depression, expresses that he has long been entranced by the piquant writings of Lois Batchelor Howard, finding them thought-stirring, often invigorating, and ever a delight to read. Ursula K. Le Guin, a prolific author, inferred in her Dancing at the Edge of the World that readers are vital. Reading, they bring the words to life and the story then lives.
