A love story that goes beyond this world and into the next.

The second that Dan Sobol and Marion Gladstone meet, they know they are meant to be together. Dan is an ex-rabbi that has made his way into the film industry.  Marion is a writer and film editor who is getting over a divorce that has made her an outcast in the industry.  Together, they travel the world making movies and enjoying their time together until it all comes to an end far too soon.

Finding true love is something seen in movies and rarely experienced in real life. Herb Freed takes the reader on an adventure in love that goes beyond this world.  While the premise of the story is very intriguing, I had a hard time sticking with it.  There were points that I felt could have been skipped completely because they closed the story off from flowing.  However, other parts  of the story kept me reading quickly to find out what was going to happen.  The writing flows at times and stalls at others.  Even so, this is a story that will make the reader believe in true love and want to achieve what Marion and Dan did.  It also makes you want to avoid the qualities of some of the other characters, as well as others we are around every day.  Overall it was a decent read, but not one I will likely pick up again.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. The views and opinions expressed within are my own.
