To my Beloved Eve
Here's the book...
About Me
- Francis Testa
- I am an author, film maker, and former Catholic seminarian with the Legionaries of Christ. I think the world is coming to the point of "knowing what we had because it's gone..." But we can get it back. I say that because a long time ago I had to leave the woman I loved. The break-up was more of a letting go, really. At the time it was very painful, but even then I knew it was for a very particular reason. The book is part of the reason, with more to come.

This is a great book. Thank you for writing it.
Halfway into it I thought it was good, but not great. By the end, I thought it was fantastic. S. Kerr
'Only now, because we have lost so much, are we aware of what we had.'
Francis Testa speaks of expulsion from Paradise on every page. It is the gorilla of all gorillas in the room. As it should be. As well, I can't help but think on a personal level that to know love and lose it is a reminder of that greater expulsion - a reminder imprinted on all souls.
There are those who would say that love is a complex ritual for women, and a simple one for men. For such individuals, I recommend reading this book to grasp the pain and joy that lies in the heart of men....and how resilient and tender that heart can become when partnered with a woman's heart.
Must all good things truly come to an end...as they did for Adam? Is this finite quality to our lives inseparable from the human identity? One thing is certain, Francis Testa reminds us that LOVE is an aspect of our humanity that men and women continue to label ETERNAL. An eternal gift from God.
