The Promise Road
Real love dies hard
, if at all. The final chapter, in the mystery surrounding the heart-rending love story of two young, 1950s era small-town Texas lovers, is accidentally written sixty years later, by a young woman heading to Boston - seeking to mend her own broken heart.
She intends only to stop
for a brief rest, but is drawn in by the story of Jessie Marie Taylor, and David Joe Fallon, Jr. She discovers their story, and finds her own reasons to live forever.
Who can say where the winding road ends?
On a day Rachel Marin would forever remember
, in September of 2000, she sat alone in her small, now empty white-fenced home in South Pasadena, California. She waited for the moment, the knowing that would end her thousand yard stare, end the reminiscing and yank her from her place.
While the stinging words
of her recently divorced producer/director husband: "I married a whole wife; I deserve a whole wife," still rang in her ears, she would, within minutes, close the door to her small home for the last time, and begin a journey-an odyssey leading her to her tomorrow.
Rachel could not have known
the path that lay before her. Within days, and miles away, fate would bring her to an unlikely intersection with a story of two young lovers from another time. She would discover how their storybook lives touched so many, more than a half century earlier. This is Rachel's, and their story, and perhaps even your story. We are certain it is far more than fiction.
