LOVE is like a giant umbrella under which many forms of affection exist. The range of emotions for love is voluminous and it includes the love for persons, animals, things, places, ideas, food, and religion. If we are lucky, many of us go from puppy love to a more stable love in a matter of years; however, some of us may never find true love or our soulmate in life. My new book, Love Is Like Glass Slippers, uses LOVE as its central theme as it explores many of the ways that love manifests itself in our lives. Taken from the title of one of my original poems, this new book pushes the boundaries of love and attempts to flesh out some of love's mysteries. Using the same formula as my last book, Just My Imagination Running Away with Me, I find myself blending fantasy with reality as I use distinct voices to tell the various stories of love within these pages. I employ different personas as narrators to fit the story details. In my last book, I used such personas as a scared crime reporter, a shy high school student, a hyper nine-year-old boy, a brave teenaged girl, and others to weave stories that resonate with passion and realness. I have been blessed with many years of experience in working as a public servant to realistically impart all of the detailed stories herein. The wisdom I have gained from being exposed to all sorts of people at all different levels allows me to tell stories with authenticity and validation. Being a good listener and a keen observer has served me well in my quest to be a good teacher, an earnest investigator, and an impactful writer. My hope is that you enjoy the different nuances of love illustrated throughout this book and learn to appreciate that love means different things to different people. However, in the end, I believe Love Conquers All as we yearn to read stories about the miracles of love and how we can find a shoe that finally fits.
