When Bells Are Stirred (Paperback)

Paperback. Austin and Taylor, though fictional names, are real people who meet in his philosophy class, fall in love in a tangled web of mishaps, then marry, raise children, and nurture a life through myriad and maverick adventures on a college campus as well as inside the dense forests of northern New Mexico. All the while, a silver thread runs through their story born on a starry night in the environs of the Pecos Wilderness when these two wounded lovers finally find the courage to confess their deepest thoughts and feelings to one another, thus tying their souls together for eternity. Their story lands on a public stage where the drama of life unfolds within the bounds of intimate love, intense discussions, family life, and the inevitable reality of death, an ending--or is it a new beginning? A book focused on the actual love story of a bonded couple with conversations drawn from private journals and personal recall, When Bells are Stirred invites its readers into the interior lives of two scarred souls working out their journeys with passion and presence, striving to create lives that reveal who they are and long to be. This tale is a revelation for adults who want more from their partnerships than the daily grind and miscommunications so frequent in long-term connections. This book is not just a love story; it's a guidebook into the deeper reaches of the heart for those who dare to risk the pilgrimage into openness, vulnerability, and hope.
