This is the most intimate and the most tender love story @Mrsgnomie has written. It shows that every life is dramatic enough even without painful betrayals and heartbreaking adulteries. Devastated by the loss of his wife, Kyan is left with four kids. But then he starts learning the real power of love. The support and unconditional love from his in-lows helps him grow and overcome his insecurities. His brother-in-law and best friend Perry, hero of unselfishness, helps him discover love again and find passion deeply buried in himself.
There’s been teasing going around the comments when @Mrsgnomie posted pictures of Kyan and Perry. Why are “ordinary” and “average” people not acceptable in something that is, above all, family tale? I asked myself at the end of the story, what kind of people are they if they are not ordinary and average and then it came to me – they are decent people. Decent, loving, caring people. This story is shining with aura of their love. In ugly world we are living, surrounded by mean, aggressive, judgmental people, this family is island of hope, a shiny star, and a flame that doesn’t heat only characters but readers too. That is the reason why we were desperately searching for good looking models, because with their pretty faces we wanted to express inner beauty of character’s souls. Yes, characters are the most captivating thing of this story because everybody needs father as Kyan or Jed, everybody needs a partner as Perry, and everybody needs a friend as Max… As an old Beatles song says All you need is love!
This story made me become a member of GA which tells a lot about it. I would like to believe that this story made me at least a little bit better person.
