Book description from Amazon.com:

New love has long been a pet subject for writers - but what happens when discovery, adventure, sensuality, love and devotion progress through time while maintaining its passion? Broken into five movements - Romance, Dreams, Journey, Spiritual and Harmony - the more than 90 works in Pieces of Gathered Light use delicious imagery, metaphors and raw emotional expression to reveal the many places in our lives touched when a new love appears during the middle years. The innocence of two leaping heart mixes with the pain, struggles, wisdom and variety of roads traveled in lives that led to that point. The author openly shares tales of love that are part story, part poem and immersed with the passion and daring that accompany relationships as they expand from the deep heart to become life commitments.
