Behind His Lensby R.S Grey4.5 StarsThis was a beautifully told story about how two people who feel they are broken are able to chip away at each other's walls to heal.Charley and Jude feel as though they are both emotionally beyond repair. Charley is a beautiful, sensitive painter who makes her living as a model. She is a very private person and has only one true friend. Naomi loves Charley and always is there for her even when she hits her lowest points. Charley was devastated by a terrible tragedy four years ago. She has since pushed everyone and everything associated with that event to the past.Jude was a photographer who had spent several years covering human interest stories for magazines such as Time and National Geographic. Having told the story of human triumph and despair as taken a toll on Jude emotionally and physically. It has made it difficult for him to become close to people and his romantic relationships are shallow. He has since become a very famous photographer, taking pictures of beautiful people each day. It is a far cry from where he was. He is very good and it and enjoys his work. He has also made it a commitment to himself to never become involved with any of his subjects either emotionally or physically.Charley and Jude have several chance encounters on numerous occasions. They begin to develop a beautiful friendship. You start to see the emotional curtain begin to lift as each one lets down their guard. They have many hurdles they must each overcome emotionally and physically. It was truly a joy watching this beautiful story unfold. I literally became emotionally attached to each of these characters. You fall in love to with their strengths and weaknesses.Michele
