Main Street (ePub)

This powerful romance novel, once read, will remain in your soul forever as the characters set within this tale of the age of innocence will steal a piece of your heart.

Each of us is a novel unto ourselves with endless chapters of triumph and tragedy. With each incidental instance that we are touched by someone in life, sometimes with nothing more than a walkthrough, our individual saga is changed, and the expanse of our frame of reference is altered.

The story about to unfold comes to life on a street in "any town" in America, a "tableau vivant" (a living picture), where a group of young people begins to define themselves in that period of time known as the "high school years." There are many clinical definitions and technical labels for this wisp of one's lifetime, but in the reminiscences within most of us, the high school years fill our memory luggage.

The characters in this narrative are amalgamations of many real people with names that might remind or mislead the reader of someone they remember all too well. Although this romantically woven fable is fictitious, each twist and turn could and probably did occur in your town ... on your Main Street, ... and in your life.

For this fable of romance and revelation, we peer into the hearts and minds of a few dozen high school students, each seeking moments to fill their growing vessels of youthful passion and desire while discovering their levels of giving and kindness. With all the fleeting lessons in language arts, math, science, and history, drilled and demonstrated during the secondary school years, what endures as this story will elucidate are the forever feelings and relationships that grow strong, never to be shaken. In this tale, young hearts will spring forth like a babbling stream and rekindle your memories of times long since evaporated but impossible to exfoliate on the landscape of your heart.
