Jim: A War-Torn Love Story. JIM AND GABBIE as kids find an ardent love in and for each other that is profoundly special. It makes the gods so envious the lovers are challenged at every turn in an effort to keep them apart. Then, a war comes along and succeeds in doing so. The compelling, amazing story of how these fated lovers find each other again simply are the workings of destiny, a doer of miracles, and above all else, love. Like a kaleidoscope, the people to whom Jim completely shares his heart in this story, are reflected in the soul of his being. Not only Gabbie, the love of his life; but also Glenn, his anger-filled father; his best friend and plague, Keith; the girl that gave his life another dimension, Charly; the magical ministering hands of Louise Comma The Nurse; the curative dreams of the Nighthawk, Anna; and the worker of miracles, Mary-each in their own fashion sear an impression in his heart and soul that will make yours quiver as well. Love until you break your heart.
