Memories Of Madison County

I received this gift from my sister for my birthday. At first when i looked at this hardbound book the first word i could ever think of was "Pink" so i told her:

"Oh geesh, thanks sis, it's so pink"

She just smiled at me warmly and told me:

"Just read the book, you can thank me later.."

Doh! As if that would EVER happen! Anyway, It wasn't long till boredom crept inside me and looking at this pink paperback i couldn't help but ask myself if this is book would be one of those cheap Daniel Steel reap offs. I was wrong. I just finished reading the book in one sitting, the moment i read the first few pages i was really enthralled to hear such heart. Reading Jana's story brought back a lot of memories to me and when her story went deeper so did my compassion for this book.

This book is about love, a different kind of love, for me it was partly sane, partly crazy, partly rational and partly irrational, partly stupid and partly wise; It's not 50 50 either. It's different. All these years, i was left to conclude that she was still inlove.

I searched for forums about the book and Jana but all my searches went down to none. what i saw were reviews from amazon.com and that a lot of them wasn't really pleased by the book because to them, it meant to stirring Waller's life.

I do not really see this book as a nuisance or an act or stubbornness but i took myself outside the box and i was left to conclude that stories like this, should, in one way or another be heard by the world, be shared by the world. For the world to know, for them to understand, for them to be educated, and for them to see that a different kind of love exists.. beyond pain, beyond martyrdom..

To Jana, wherever you are..

Love never Failethed
