In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, man and woman
communicated via letter, creating entire relationships on paper.
Since then, the world has changed. Today, we have the Internet,
where dating websites rule the relationship roost. But dating
websites are not always safe. Even if you discover a deep
connection with someone online, how do you know he or she is really
telling the truth? Jana-Kathryn lives in Canada; Nadir lives in
Turkey. They are two people who desperately crave to find a soul
mate. Unable to find true connections in their countries of
residence, they each decide to try online matchmaking. They seem to
be a perfect match for each other. Their ongoing communications
ring true and feel like dreams to them both. Possibly, these two
souls-reaching across an ocean-could live happily ever after
...unless one of them is telling a lie. Is Jana-Kathryn really an
intellectual, educated woman looking for love, or is she a
criminal, playing brutal games with an unknown agenda? Is Nadir
truly the sweet, supportive man he seems to be, or is he a
villainous sexual maniac on the prowl? Across an ocean-across
worlds-how can these two hopeful people know the truth? How can
they put trust in online ghosts? Will they end up together or end
up haunted?
At times haunting, but also therapeutic and healing, "Love
Triangle" explores the traumatizing effects of mental illness and
exposes the feelings and emotions of someone who has suffered
abuse.
Through poems and short stories-a portion of them written in
Russian-author Kate Valery relates the experience of living with
someone afflicted with mental illness and the abuse that follows.
The title poem, "Love Triangle," captures the essence of the
harrowing experience: " / You, me, and the wicked wild animal /
Nestled in your brain. / You, me, and the wicked wild animal /
Tried to push me 'neath a train. / You, me, and the wicked wild
animal / Tried to drown me in a pool. / You, me, and the wicked
wild animal; / Thought that it would be so cool /"
"Love Triangle" not only delves into powerful emotions, but also
serves to inspire. Augmented with photos and illustrations, this
anthology encourages abused women to find the inner power to stand
up for themselves, to fight for themselves, to run for freedom, to
restore their souls, and to seek renewed self-esteem, success,
respect, life, and love.
