Every once in a while a story comes along that will make you laugh, cry and hopefully bring shouts of joy. My new historical, inspirational, family saga Forever and a Day is set in and around the Second World War but is timeless in its scope. On the surface this story is a memoir of the central characters’ struggle against adversity and uncontrollable circumstances. On a broader scale, it is a story about a place and its people. Noah, a college graduate visiting his grandparents, and Ann, a Jewish girl from Paris who is visiting her uncle, come together in the summer of 1939 in Fairview, a small American town nestled in an idyllic mountain setting at a time when the world is poised on the brink of World War II. The two spend time together amid the beauty of a natural setting that evokes pre-war innocence and a deceptively simpler past when an undercurrent of racial prejudice went unchallenged. It takes Noah’s being attacked by a mountain lion to make both he and Ann realize how precious the gift of life is and how quickly love can be lost. The book’s real strength and universal appeal lies in its conveyance of the uniquely human qualities of maintaining hope, and purpose in the face of adversity. It celebrates the unconquerable strength of the human spirit.
