Book excerpt: Have you ever been in love—really been in love, to the point you thought that life as you knew it was over if you could not have him? The kind of love where you give all the rights to your heart, your mind, your soul, and, yes, your pride, just to be loved by him? Sometimes women give it all up in the name of love. It is not until we truly and fully understand love that we can somewhat control it, if such a thing is possible. Finding love should be easy, but choosing love with a younger man requires you to be a special type of person. It takes a strong-willed woman, one with very thick skin and a lot of patience. The author’s experience with loving a younger man gives her a wonderful and challenging relationship, one that leaves both tears and heartwarming moments etched forever in her soul. Along the way, she learns so much about herself and about love. It is often complicated, yet it is the most beautiful connection life has to offer—and for the author, loving a younger man has an unimaginable charm and sweetness. This novel tells the story of Missy, a woman who falls for a younger man and faces the ups and downs that come along with that unexpected love.
