Written by Richard Bach, in an autobiographical style, the book really pulls your heartstrings and leaves you with a wonderful warm fuzzy feeling. Its bound to do that every time you read it.
Through the author's eyes, we experience the quest for true love and feel our own heart opening. And realise that the search for the true soulmate actually begins within us.

It starts when Richard has a fleeting glimpse of his true love. And therein begins his quest. As time passes on he loses focus and vision and gets caught up in a web of deceit and betrayal on his professional front. In such trying times, he meets Leslie Parrish and a new friendship is born. She turns out to be a wonderful woman and great companion with whom he loses track of time over long chess games, music lessons, ice cream and conversations. He realises he is not ready for the commitment(not surprisingly). To put it in his own words, he feels chained by his own freedom and Leslie steps in and together they discover how much promise the future held. Not without a struggle though. Leslie Parrish has a theory on the two most important ingredients for a healthy relationship being..intimacy and a capacity for joy.

From the inside flap:- If you've ever felt alone in a world of  strangers, missing someone you've never met, you'll find a  message from your love in The Bridge  Across Forever.
