Love Interlacing

The following narrative, the second of two parts in the series "The Song of the Dove," traces the stories of persons whose lives are deeply bound together by love, a love that is born, not merely between human hearts, but from the very Heart of God himself, who desires human communion to reflect his own divine intimacy as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Two of these persons, Adam and Natalya, are the central characters of the first novel, "Unspeakable Beauty," and this second novel accompanies them into the full flowering of the home for which their hearts have been longing, unto the mysterious and unexpected gift of total surrender, in the love that is stronger than death. Many other persons from the first novel are present as well, and their stories continue here and find a deeper and wider unfolding. But there are a few new persons to appear as well, with their own incomparable stories, who find themselves caught up into this tapestry of love, such as Schlomo, a young Jewish boy whose life is rent by the horrors of the Holocaust, and Agnieszka, a Polish woman who encounters him many years later, as well as Simon, a young American man of the early twenty-first century, filled with longing for something more, and a simple and radiant girl, Eithne, who enters his life.
