| Can an ordinary life be extraordinary? It depends on the lens through which one views. In the case of Marc Gellman, that lens is Shiva Eyes, and the life is the one he describes in his powerful and unforgettable memoir. It's a heartfelt engaging work; a full portrait of a marriage that the author promises will make you smile, laugh, and cry - not always in that order. An unforgettable story about the power of love in this romantic love story that makes it worth reading. From around the world, readers love this New York City true-life love story about a boy from Brooklyn who meets a girl from The Bronx, and a husband's promise, "I will tell our story to the world; that every day we shared was special." As told through the eyes of the man who lived it, brings a romantic celebration of life, and shows the ordinary life experiences that bring about funny and poignant moments. The author recounts his fairytale love story, from their teenage meeting at a summertime beach scene, to newlyweds in New York City, to suburban parenting, and to life as an urban couple relishing their empty nest. Looking through a husband's Shiva Eyes, readers will experience the couple's wondrous life as the author searches deep into his soul to find answers to questions. With candor, humor, laughter, and tears, the author shares their story both wildly charmed with parties, celebration, and playful adventures. While through the hills and valleys of their life together and the courageous, grueling, determined hope-filled fight against a brutal disease, their excruciating challenges are unflinchingly depicted. Observing the singular, remarkable romance, the author uncovers a depth to their love, he'd never fully grasped. Their nonstop silliness, playful puppy love, and strength in his wife that he'd never fully understood. It's a happy-ever-after born of a teen-age puppy love that grows with each passing year. Although their lives together may have ended with seven days of shiva, they shared forty-six years of puppy love. This is not a swashbuckling adventure, not a rags-to-riches, no stunning whodunnit, but a sweet and simple love sonnet (albeit a lot longer) to the other pea in the author's pod, a deep love readers can feel and embrace in every word. |
