A poignant love story epic prose and poetry, bridging Post WWII with the 21st century. The year is 1949! They - teenage love, too passionate, too lustful! Religious/moral values threatened; fear of God's wrath for fornicators. He - losing the battle between desire for her and fear of consummating, without explanation he embraces her for the last time. Forty years! He - Senior Bank Executive (retired), second career - Chairman of the Board, husband, father, grandfather - wealth - a perfect world! The golden years - culmination of his American Dream. She - loving wife, banking career, children, grandchildren! Fulfillment of her American Dream! And then! He - breached contracts, malfeasance, violation of financial basic tenets; total financial failure! Strained marriage of 45 years - collapse - separation - divorce. She - husband with cancer - death! Daughter an alcoholic - death! Grandchildren - co-dependent son! Defers retirement to care for family. The year is 2000! High school reunion - each attends - he from Oregon, she from Colorado. Embers of their teenage love glow gently in the background. He - stands at the gates of Hell! She - offers a path to Paradise. He - accepts. She - requites. Beyond 2000! They - Utopia - romance - love - total fulfillment - stairway to Heaven on earth. Their love story, a dreamlike reality - beyond fantasy!
