When Love Burned Like Fire: A True Story in Letters About a Secret Affair

Almost a modern-day fairy tale, this non-fiction story stands in contrast to accounts of "the other woman" as an all but temporary intruder. Two people felt destined to nurture their secret but lasting relationship at all costs and beyond most probabilities of success. Nearly 2000 letters, written during six years of enduring wait time in the 1970s, form the basis for excerpting what happened during the couple's relationship despite many obstacles.
