THANK YOU for this review which may well be more important to me than the actual book. Writers such as you give me a rare glimpse of hope. So just a simple thank you, Sasha.
They stand at the gate judging who is acceptable, who is to be let in and who they’ll turn away. Too late they’ll find that we aren’t standing in line anymore...that we no longer want to be let in...that we see nothing desirable inside...nothing that we want or need. They’ll see us looking at them with pity in our eyes, and they will hate us even more than they do now.
First time here. Came here via Breitbart. "It made me think about true love, about finding one person to spend your life with - something that has always (and probably will always) eluded me.; I have the wonderful happiness of meeting a wonderful lady at the ripe age of 22. Married 55 years now and still she is my number one. What a grand purpose in life to give it to another so beautiful of a lady. She is debilitated now, suffering from Alzheimer's for the last 9 years.
What you say has eluded you has also eluded, me; I read, somewhere, ‘if you are destined to be alone, maintain the bearing of a king or queen,’ dear lady. 😊❤️
- I disagree with you on who o think you identify as the counterculture because I think you identify people like NYT, Hollywood, Academia as counterculture, but in my view they are the dominant culture as evidenced by their wealth, standard of living, power to make or break others, and significant safety from the poor and downtrodden.

I finished this book last week. Devoured it in two days. It's a real winner. I read the ending several times as it nearly brought me to tears.
"...planet full of ass holes." That's not fiction! We're there! Where's the exit?
Amazing read. Highly recommend.
I bought the ebook from Barnes and Noble vs Amazon. I think they're a little less evil than Amazon.
Thank you, Sasha! Been desperate for some meaningful fiction to carry me away, and your review sealed it. Ordered.

not to nit pick, but "So shines a good deed in a weary world” comes from Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice."
Just downloaded it to my Kindle. Thanks for the heads-up Sasha!

Thanks for the review! It’s on my kindle now!
Great review. Time, eternity, true love....sounds like a book I would find interesting.
I bought this after paragraph 2! Hope it’s a good one
Sasha a few points;
- thank-you for the book intro and review
- just ordered it
- you should write a book also
- I disagree with you on who o think you identify as the counterculture because I think you identify people like NYT, Hollywood, Academia as counterculture, but in my view they are the dominant culture as evidenced by their wealth, standard of living, power to make or break others, and significant safety from the poor and downtrodden.
I was introduced to Sasha the rough Nolte’s two part interview. Both her and John are two of my favorite writers.
