Coinage of Commitment

by Robert Costelloe

Overview

Wayne and Nancy grow up on opposite sides of the country, each certain they must have love better than what others will settle for. Something stronger, something richer, something worth searching for. During the turbulent nineteen-sixties, they meet while he is attending blue-collar Drexel, and she is at neighboring, Ivy League Penn. Although irresistibly drawn to each other, they must overcome obstacles posed by the class and social differences separating them, as well as opposition from both families, and later, a twist of fate that will be the cruelest test of all. Can they reach the emotional heights they seek? Can they overcome time's downward pulling inertia? Coinage of Commitment is dedicated to all who ever paused and wondered about the altitude love might soar to.

Editorial Reviews

Coinage of Commitment...is classic in the sense that the two lovers experience love at first sight and are from completely different backgrounds which threatens their love. However, the level of love and commitment that the two of them share is amazing. ... Yet this is no simple story. There are surprises, joys and tragedies which await the reader. Mr. Costelloe has created a smoothly written novel of life, love and sacrifice.

Coffee Time Romance - Bonnie Lass

This book is definitely not your typical love story. ... The ideas that the main characters ponder and discuss are very thought-provoking and I think, that as a reader, you will find yourself thinking more about the subject even after you turn the last page. While you would think a novel of this nature could be predictable, Costelloe definitely throws a few major curve balls your way, making for a very unique and interesting story!

Single Titles - Debbie Guyette

"This is not about a light empty headed romance full of fluff but a real down to earth, soul seeking love story that could be compared to some of the great works of literature. Stories like this are few and far between..." --Terry Studer, Reviewer, Front Street Reviews. com

Front Street Reviews - Terry Studer

"Rob Costelloe has created a very thought provoking book that plays on many levels....The standard of the writing is of the highest quality. He states in his biography that he has been writing since he was 8 years old, and that does not surprise me, he is a skilled and splendid wordsmith....The ending of the story comes with a very strange twist in the tale, and one that will surprise the reader." --Simon Barrett, Reviewer, Bloggernews.net
