If This Be Not Love: The Jay and Baby Story

These pages are a mirror that reflects the gamut of defining experiences common in countless families. Episodes of triumph, resiliency and victory abut periods of dispiriting failures, regrettable conflicts, and struggle. The realities of Jay and Baby's lives evoke more than sympathy, but empathy - where readers see themselves, their lives and their families. IF THIS BE NOT LOVE resonates on multiple levels and ultimately points to a simple yet poignant truism: i.e., regardless of the problems facing family units today, we are blessed and most fortunate, if we find ourselves within a family where love, loyalty, unity and commitment have been a mainstay. For the reader, who by tragic misfortune has not experienced such a family, hopefully this story will inspire and motivate him/her to become the one who sets the course and lays this foundation for generations to come.
