My Dead True Love

by Kim Pierce

GENRE: Metaphysical & Visionary; Women's Friendships

BLURB:

When a newspaper reporter’s fiancé dies abruptly, she questions how he could just cease to be.

Dogged by unbidden thoughts, odd coincidences and unexplained phenomena, Ann Stewart becomes obsessed with finding out what really happens after we die and whether her beloved Gregory is still out there. She finds her answer, which takes her and a close-knit coterie of women to the edge of the cosmos—and the core of their own hearts.

Based on a true story.

Excerpt:

We stood a moment without speaking—sizing each other up, I suppose—before I invited her to have a seat on the couch. I sat down next to her.

“Look, I know this situation is awkward,” I began. “Me the fiancée, you the ex-wife…”

“Yeah, I can only imagine what he’s said about me. Medusa unbound.”

“Oh no, that’s not what I meant.…”

I tripped over my words.

“But it’s very likely what he meant.” She let out a belly laugh.

Bunching up her considerable green velvet skirt, she stretched out her legs, revealing black cowboy boots.

“Ours was not a friendly parting.”

“I gathered,” I said. “I also know you were married for, like, ten years—double the time I knew him. And I know I ought to feel jealous…”

Elizabeth stared at me, waiting.

“But I don’t.”

“No?”

“No. You were close to him. He was close to you.” I paused. It was difficult, even counterintuitive, what I was trying to say. “I could hear this in the intimate way you talked about him at the service.”

I clasped my hands as my words spilled out haltingly.

“I don’t even know how to say this,” I continued, “but I understood. It’s not like you’re a rival. You’re more like a sister. Or something like that. Someone I have a common bond with. He’s gone, and the hurt of that…”

I looked away. Tears were percolating up, boiling over again. Would this fountain of grief never cease?

I rushed to add, “The hurt of that doesn’t leave room for trivial bullshit like jealousy.” There, I’d said it. My heart was pounding.

“We… shared… him. Like no one else can understand.”

Someone understands. 

My Review:

Ann Stewart is a newspaper reporter who loses her fiancé way too early. His death was unexpected, to say the least. My Dead True Love is Ann’s story of how she coped with it all. The death of Ann’s fiancé opened up a whole lot of questions, questions she did not have answers for. But questions she was going to try her best to find the answers to no matter where it took her.

When I read the summary for My Dead True Love I didn’t know what to expect but what I found lying between the pages was not it. When I started reading My Dead True Love I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about it but I must say the more I read the more I wanted to read. After finishing I honestly have to say that I definitely enjoyed it way more than I ever thought I would. It turned out to be way different than I thought it would.

There were quite a few surprising twists that helped to keep those pages rolling as I soon become so involved in Ann’s story that I was racing to the end to see what she would find out on her quest to find out answers to all her questions.

My Dead True Love is a very well-written and thought-out story that will keep you reading for hours on end and take you to places you never imagined. Or maybe you have.

I would recommend My Dead True Love to anyone looking for the truth. Grab your copy of My Dead True Love today!
