Amber's writing is very personal and intimate, with much integrity, while still being vivid and descriptive with her surroundings. --Julianne Sheperd, The Portland Mercury, May, 2002 Product Description I grew up thinking I would find true love on crossing the golden threshold into adulthood. We would be drawn to each other at first sight. We would love each other enormously. We would empathize in every way and have magic sex. What I didn't expect was that gravity pulls us toward so many people, and we love, or make love, or wrap our expectations around them even when in retrospect they were not anyone in particular, not anyone at all. I loved people I could never travel through life with, and who's to know the difference until its too late? .... These are stories about people I've loved for an ultimate purpose that remains mysterious. How can such definite emotions lead us down dead end lanes? But they do and do and the rising and falling is part of the passion that keeps us moving through the world with our eyes wide open. About the Author Amber Gayle was born in San Francisco in 1971. She currently lives in the Siskyou Mountains in Southern Oregon where she writes and manages the distribution of New York based Index Magazine.
