Ronnie Harden was diagnosed with nonparalytic poliomyelitis at a young age, and as a pessimist would, she never really hoped that a vaccine would be found to rid her of her terminal illness. Her mother, on the other hand, found that there was one in New York by the time the 60s rolled around, and because of that theory, that's where she was forced to move. Not long after she settled in, Ronnie bumped into humorous, free-spirited Dennis Tiller, an aspiring musician with a large group of friends. However, this innocent, friendly new neighbor of hers turned out to be quite the troublemaker. He and Ronnie got into all sorts of conflicts because of his idea that she should do as many incredible things in her lifetime as she possibly could, but they'd soon realize that with enough trouble comes a significant amount of danger...

This is a story about loss and love. It is about denial and acceptance. About living and dying. Moving, breathing. Anger, pain. Depression, bargaining. It is about love. It is about grief. You don't get over the death of a loved one, because, simply put, love never dies. You keep living until you feel alive again. For just as the sawn's last song is the sweetest of it's life, so loss is made endurable by love, and it is love that will echo through eternity.

A collection of poems based on happiness, guilt, war, rememberance, and any other act on earth you can imagine.
