Author’s Statement: ‘When I think of love, I think of pain and not joy. I know that is not the way it’s supposed to be but it has been that way for me. Love is the most elusive thing I know. Always an arm’s length away, teasing me and asking me to stretch a bit more and grab it. The more I stretched the more it slipped away. Through those many slips comes my book, A Handful of Sunshine.’
