    About this ebook

    No one ever expects to lose a child. The death of a child has long reaching effects that no one is prepared for. This is the story of how the author and his family came to terms with such a loss. God, marriage, health, and so many areas of life change forever. But there is hope.

    I publish this now in the hopes that it will help someone going through the pain of having lost a child. I need to do another rewrite, but it was so hard to write this I just can not do a rewrite at this time. It is in the final form, I only need to do a final edit, so if you purchase "Alexandra" now it will not change.

    If you know someone who has lost a child, let them know you care and that you do not understand what they are going through, but that you will always be with them.

    Thank You

      Claude is a middle-aged accountant who's been bumbling along with a middle-aged widow, filling a void yet depressing himself in the process as he really doesn't like her. On one of her must-do nights out in the city he comes across Alex (Alexandra), much younger than him and very much an enigma. So far, so middle-aged guy cliché. Circumstances concerning Alex put Claude in a 'stick with the old or throw caution to the wind' scenario, and the novel plays out how that turns out.Whilst the plot of this novel is verging on chic-lit territory in places, Valerie Martin is a good writer - she knows how to spin a good yarn, and I zipped through this in a couple of sittings as she had me hooked early on. The ending was a bit anticlimactic, but otherwise an enjoyable (but probably fairly forgettable) read.4 stars - good summer holiday reading fodder.
