You write about it. You tell the world how amazing it is to love and be loved by someone so special, what love helps you achieve and how it makes you stronger.Jeff Diamond had built a life of influence, adulation and wealth by making the right choices for the right reasons. He lived by the law of reciprocity, a lesson learned on the streets as a teenager with nothing but an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. Plagued by the scars of a violent childhood, he created his vision and fought for it. And once he no longer needed to fight for himself, he fought for others.When Jeff's dream girl was taken from him and their children by the ignorant act of a jealous misfit from his own home town, the millionaire realized just how far he had come. Why had he succeeded when so many like him fail? It wasn't complicated. The secret lay in the endless pursuit of love and wisdom; life's two magic ingredients.Now Lynn was gone, he resolved to use his remaining days to account for their life in a way that would inspire young people to make his type of choice rather than García's. Then, after their story was written, he would be free to go after her, to begin the whole incredible journey over again.Everyone has a life singular: one; unique; extraordinary.5* Reviews - A Wonderful Series Begins Here!"This was a great read with zero lags. A good portion of this book centered around finding the person responsible for a high profile murder and then the subsequent court trial. It was hard for me to put this book down at night as I wanted to know what would happen next. I definitely recommend this author as rarely does a book keep me as interested as this one did."A Wonderful Series Begins Here!The characters are well created and there is plenty of details to give this story the layers needed to keep one reading. The author has the ability to move the reader through the emotions being experienced, from love to anguish to feelings raked raw, the reader has his finger on the pulse of what is going on (said and unsaid) with each character."A beautiful tale of true love, devastating loss and the pain of rebuilding a new life from the emotional ashes."A Life Singular by Lorraine Pestell is an emotionally charged, eloquently written struggle of one man's journey through the steps of loss and grief when he loses his best friend and wife to a gunman's bullet. The Diamond family had it all, shared love and respect, wealth, beauty and fame, a fairy tale life to the world who adored them.
