Dandelion Man: the four loves (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781482373011)

Embark on a journey through time and love in "Dandelion Man - The Four Loves," a nostalgic odyssey that delves into the intricacies of relationships spanning the 1960s and 1970s.

Set against the backdrop of a vibrant era, this tale encapsulates the essence of first love, resonating with the words of Sir James Matthew Barrie: "God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December." Wally, our protagonist, revisits the profound memory of his first love triggered by a familiar song, leading him to reminisce about the intoxicating, heart-soaring experience that shaped his youth.

The Midwest Book Review hails "Dandelion Man" as essential reading in general fiction, while CatholicFiction.Net lauds its compelling narrative.

The story traverses the definitions of love, drawing inspiration from C. S. Lewis' categorization of the four Greek words for love. It immerses readers in the Detroit of yesteryears, capturing the essence of the Age of Aquarius while focusing on the Eros side of love, not its frivolities.

Through dual perspectives, Wally and Dee, his first love, reveal a tale of love, initially as neighbors and then across distances. Their intertwined narratives, sometimes humorous, often poignant, illuminate the complexities of relationships and the enduring impact of first love.

Written by a former ghostwriter for politicians turned fiction author, "Dandelion Man" promises a heartfelt exploration of human connection, offering a narrative that lingers in the soul long after the final page is turned.
