This book is not about falling in love with the man or woman of your dreams and riding off into a picturesque sunset. Though, in theory it can happen, that Fairy Tale kind of love is reserved for…well, Fairy Tales. Like many, I enjoy nothing more than the typical, predictable romantic flicks that end with the leading man finding his perfect soul mate, sweeping her off her feet and disappearing into tomorrow to live happily ever after. You can get that type of manufactured, conjured up, “Hollywood” love on Netflix for $9 a month by thumbing through the romantic film section.
In real life, that type of love appears in glimpses, but is very difficult to sustain because unfortunately real life tends to get in the way. The love I’m speaking of is the kind that comes from the trenches of everyday life. The love in the mud of things, staged in the chaos of everyday life. I’m talking about that deep, dirty in your face love. A love that is fulfilling, yet scary at the very same time. Love that is 100% pure.
I truly enjoyed reading Love in the Trenches of Life and am SO VERY PROUD of the man Jose has become! A true inspiration!
This book would make a great gift for someone who needs a reminder to appreciate how love effects them or just to put a smile on their face in general!
Educate the world to think past the dumpster!
