ALWAYS IS FOREVER
We cannot get into this world without the help of a mother and a father. Most of us also had a first love. Who we are, how we interact with others, the person we become, are impacted by these entities. Each contributes to the creation of a permanent mark on the indescribable place deep inside us, a place referred to in poetry and song as our heart and soul. From birth to death, the warmth of love and the ache of loss emanate from that illusive place. My goal for readers of my book is that they internalize the characters' joys and heartaches as though they personally lived them, that their illusive place becomes alive with emotion as they turn the pages. The book begins with the main character as a young child when home and family are her whole world. The reader is then led through the ensuing years with the highs and lows of life, with emphasis on a first love and the effects this love created, the heartaches encountered, the babies born, the life lived, until the final breath is drawn.

The Age of Reason
The Worcester Tornado of June 9, 1953 blew seven-year-old Edith Brynn out of her bedroom window and began a year of upheaval and change. All around her, things were happening that first-grade had not equipped her to understand. Her mother, Kitt, was having a nervous breakdown brought on by a third pregnancy, extramarital intrigues, and the conflicts between her career as a translator of Russian poetry, and motherhood. Edith's father, Arthur, a devoted Communist, and veteran of the Lincoln Brigade, was caught up in the McCarthy-era Red Scare and in danger of losing his job as a college professor. Edith, who idealized both parents and treasured the stories, books, music, and culture that they took time out of their busy lives to share with her, both did and did not want to understand why neither parent had much time or attention for her or her little brothers. Though she was a keen observer, she often preferred to retreat to a rich world of make-believe and to her beloved books. Finally, the devastating and preventable death of her baby brother hurtles her into 'The Age of Reason' the stage of life when a child knows and can no longer ignore the difference between what is true and what they wish to be true.
