"Ebb" is a book of love, love gained and lost, both painful and joyful but most of all, love that ends before we think it should. It's about opening our hearts for love, to enjoy being with another through good and bad times before those intense feelings abate. Don't wait Take it now, while it's there, otherwise the hard times which befall us all guarantee the destruction of our most loving thoughts. Don't allow those intense feelings for another to erode your love. Enjoy a happy feast while you can.
