Publisher's Synopsis
Five Simple Words is the story of how two lives, more than just coincidently cross, and the examination of how we are all connected in ways we seldom completely understand. In this story, a young doctor finds himself intrigued by a beautiful woman he has diagnosed with terminal cancer. Beginning with their fight to save her life, they form a unique bond that influences their separate lives in ways they are unable to comprehend until many years later. Fiction is what happens when real life cuts so deep it lays bare the human soul in such a visceral manner that the story told as a biography is too painful to absorb, or perhaps as in the saga of Five Simple Words, too beautiful to believe. Five Simple Words is fiction - just barely.
