author: Faraci, Anastacia
description: 
   This is a story of two people in love faced with almost insurmountable life challenges. She is a nurse stricken with breast cancer. . . . he is a renowned cardiovascular surgeon mourning the loss of his wife and son . . . .
  
  
   They each had traveled life=s path until, in the midst of tragedy and despair, they found each other and their love. From the beginning, there was a magnetism between them. He felt it and admitted it. She felt it and denied it. Then, within three years of each other, her husband and his wife passed away. She believed it was destiny, their destiny.
  
   But fate interferes. Her cancer returns and she feels hopeless and helpless. He wants to marry, but she doesn't know if she will live or die. She wants to set him free; to give him a chance to meet someone else. In desperation, she flees.
  
   Would she have gotten involved with him, she wonders, if she knew this was the way it would end? She remembered standing in front of the mirror taking stock of herself. She remembered running her hands down over her body wondering: Would he know? If he touched her, could he tell which breast was fake, which was real? She remembered the little voice crying out inside of her to cancel that first date. Should she have listened? No. There was no resisting his magnetism. She was drawn to him like a moth to a flame.
  
   He finds her and brings her back home but then suffers a near-fatal brain injury in a boating accident. And so, Andrea's life is turned upside down once again.
  
   Alone and lonely, Andrea begins the long, arduous journey through the maze of emotional and physical upheavals she must face. Forced to follow life=s bumpy road, she learns the true meaning of love.
