The Art of Attachment

By M E McClain

We die twice you know. Once when the heart has stopped and second, when your name is uttered for the last time... In 1879, Maurice Brye was Antioch, Illinois' favorite farmer. Barely twenty years old, from a good family with money to spare and easy on the eyes - certainly a catch any young lady would be happy with. But Maurice did not consider himself a bachelor... as he has been infatuated with Lizzie Ford ever since he could remember. Lizzie Ford, a quirky midwestern woman, is unable to cope with a heart wrenching loss. For nearly ten years, she isolated herself - grieving the past, while she struggled to preserve her failing family farm. Until providence brings her to the farm of her longtime admirer. With a large age gap, growing society and scandal... Lizzie and Maurice's love seems hindered by everyone around them.
