Bøger af Yvonne Desousa

"I found this memoir to be an excellent work that evoked a myriad of emotions, beginning with deSousa's experiences before meeting Richard to their enduring association. It captures the depth of the couple's love skillfully, the dreams they held onto, and the impact his addiction had on their relationship." -Readers' FavoriteSometimes the wrong person says the right thing, and it makes all the difference.In this coming-of-age memoir we meet Richard, a handsome, charming, mischievous, great guy with a fondness for the 1980s party drug of choice, cocaine. Yvonne is 11 years younger, awkward, terrified of her own shadow and even more frightened by the idea of disappointing anyone in her life. Their attraction makes no sense.Despite obstacles beyond their control, they are exactly what each other is drawn to as they set about doing the best they can, in all four seasons of their beautiful, one season town, Provincetown, MA. Their connection remains the one thing that can save Yvonne from herself, even while Richard struggles under the weight of his own self-imposed demons.What they develop is a relationship that unbeknownst to both of them, would last a lifetime and change Yvonne in ways she never thought possible. They were not supposed to be together.Yet, they refused to stay apart.
