Dear Love

"Dear Love" nourishes the curiosities and whets the appetites of lovers everywhere, who are seeking a literarily fresh and satisfying experience for the mind, heart and soul. A modern yet cultured tale, it speaks poetic volumes to the inescapable realities of relationship conflicts involving sexuality, familial acceptance, rejection, social stigmas, shame, faith, fear, bitterness and forgiveness. Its authenticity exudes from the perspective of premiere author Jai QuietStorm; a young African American professional and societal triple threat -- black, female, and non-heterosexual. It digs deep into the personal and peculiar world of partnership issues; not only providing insight to those who are already exposed to an unorthodox lifestyle, but also stimulating interest among those who may consider such expressions of love taboo - especially those with friends and loved ones they would like to understand better and support. As a generational guide and outlet for expression and understanding of all forms of relational love - regardless of preference, background and experience, or whether far or close to home - Dear Love is a testament that allows us all to relate to life's sometimes broken record of love, pain and everything in between. "Dear Love" is a Memoir, Collective Poetry and Inspirational Literature on love, relationships, and the author's life experiences. A compilation of love poems, songs, letters and prose that educates inspires and chronicles the author's coming out and coming-of-age.
