 Poignant and inspiring romance is also a story of survival September 1, 2012
One Last Love is at once uplifting and a tearjerker, with Bonnie's unflappable sense of humor carrying him through a grim prognosis and the painful years that followed. The writing is lyrical, the dialogue warm and eminently readable- not one character utters an uninteresting line in the whole book. A magic chronicle of second chances and a life examined as death inches closer, this is a great story of a man who suffered affliction with true courage. Bonnie's relationship with his wife and second chance at love resonates in the context of his illness and will be inspiring to anyone who has ever lost a loved one in death. Derek Haines is a gifted writer, with crisp, clever dialogue and powerful emotion refreshingly free of overly sentimental treatment. This examines the idiosyncrasies of love in a whole new way and will be a book you'll read over and over.
