It’s June 6, 1951. Eighteen-year-old Diana D’ Angelo
stands at the Holly Hills train station amidst the
teardrops of angels and the angered thunder of
Heaven, as billows of smoke belch from the belly of
the big Baldwin locomotive.
Michael asks, ‘Will you wait for me, my love?’
‘I will wait for you, I promise.’ Diana says.
Regardless, war does not concern itself with
childhood sweethearts and Valentines. And fate,
it seems, picks and chooses who wins and loses.
Accordingly, the letters from a world away suddenly
stop coming. And when Tommy, their best friend, is
laid to rest in a flag-draped casket. Diana has to won-
der if there will be another 21-gun salute–this one
even more heartbreaking.
This riveting novel takes us through Diana and
Michael’s journey of love and longing, life, and loss,
laughter and tears, and everything in between–
elements of all our lives since the beginning of time!
‘Will you wait for me, my love?’

Despre autor
After decades of song writing, a lifetime’s worth of emotions now pour onto this poet’s pages, like literary portraits from a pen. ‘The Many Colors of My Heart’ is a deep, rich collection of joys and sorrows, hopes and dreams, and all the shades in between. Eddie is also a novelist. His heart-warming romance novel, ‘Timeless Pages, ‘ goes hand in hand with his inspiring book of poetry. Together, these two books lead readers on an emotional journey where the destination is reassuring comfort and peace. Eddie will break your heart, and then make it whole again with pieces of his own; and in the process, healing is bestowed upon both the reader …and the writer.
