Persistence of Memory
A dear friend of ours, Jim Nichols, has just published a new book: "Persistence of Memory".
For any of you that loves a good romantic story - this is it! I read his manuscript sometime ago, and I laughed and cried throughout all of it! Jim writes in a visual manner that takes you through his first love with all the drama and sensitivities of his soulmate relationship. It's really beautiful and also very sad and till this day, some 35-40 years later, he is still very much so effected by it! I just wanted to give you all the oppportunity to read a real life soulmate story!

Description:
This saga recalls how a shy, naïve, seventeen year-old, lad’s rustic boyhood passions for fishing and ice hockey are unexpectedly upstaged by a chance encounter with a charming girl he meets at his summer stock-boy job. Steeped in provincial, small town sensibilities, he finds himself swept away into youthful infatuation. An ardent pursuit of his darling soul-mate evolves into an odyssey of self-discovery full of joy and tears. Persistence of Memory is a tender, coming-of-age drama set during the turbulent Sixties, where youthful idealism inexorably conflicts with adult values of the Vietnam War era. It recalls a slice of vanished Americana when both personal and national innocence were lost. And, yet this touching little story reveals how a random romantic encounter can profoundly color one’s entire life.
