The Garden in My Heart »

A. Mistory is passionate about life: consciousness, intelligence, curiosity, creativity, how we came to be as we are in general, our ability to be introspective, our insight, compassion, the depths our love can reach, and the lustful passionate love we can achieve. We are much more than most of us ever think we are. All of the characters are written as if real, and their stories as if they truly happened; the characters are imbued with a zest for life, love, passion and especially its awakening in us with such a lustful force. Life really is stranger than fiction, and has so many faces. These stories find those places, and hopefully make them real for the reader. The characters are written as if the characters would love to have others see them if they were writing the story. Getting lost in the characters is not unusual, as is staying awake at night, or even waking up thinking about and feeling them as if being told what to write, and how.

An avid reader – when there is time – indulging in novels, particularly those by Linda Howard and Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, are a delight. A favorite novel is “Becoming Bobbie” by R. J. Stevens. In writing about love, it is no surprise that the the actual letters of the continuing love of Heloise for her lover/ex lover, Abelard, is considered the finest love story ever written. When reading them, they bring ripples of sensations through the body with chills and shivers that seize the mind and make one captive to them. The unheard of honest, and openly lustful sexuality that defied the times is enthralling. Those letters are felt to be better by far, and more erotic to the mind, and therefore the senses, than any novelist ever wrote.

Ellen is widowed and alone, and Molly, Ellen’s young neighbor, has a troubled marriage and philandering husband--two women have never needed a good friend more than these two!

When Molly devises a fiendishly cute scheme for the two women to come together, Ellen can’t resist, in spite of her wariness--Hank, Molly’s husband, has made his intentions toward Ellen well known and she’s not interested in giving him any untoward opportunities.

But as the women grow closer and closer, each of their problems overlap and entwine in wholly unexpected ways, leaving them both clinging to each other. Ellen’s troubling and revealing insights meet with Molly’s fear to reveal a secret long buried as and Molly’s husband, Hank, becomes a serious threat to their growing relationship...

The Garden In My Heart is a tale of love, and an adamant refusal to allow the world to intrude on it, a story an awakening and understanding, and hopes finally being fulfilled no matter the near horrible events that threaten new found, and heretofore forbidden, love.
