O ovoj e-knjizi

In writing letters to the women in his life, the author chronicles his growth from shy, abused child to happy, confident adult. As he does so, he provides a rare and intimate look at male-female relationships from a man's point of view. With an adult's hindsight, he relives his first kiss, first date, and first crush. He examines the reasons for missed opportunities and failed romances. He tenderly explores his feelings for those special women whom he never will forget. Love, romance, and friendship provide the focus for most of the letters, which range from sad and sobering to light and humorous. But the author also deals with murder, suicide, drugs, mental illness, and betrayal. Despite such serious subject matter, the book overall is a celebration of life and love, as well as one man's tribute to the women who have enriched his life.
