This inspirational and heartfelt work--the follow-up to Jim Brickman's best-selling book Simple Things--is a poignant and sometimes humorous collection of real-life stories that explores all aspects of love. Many of the heartwarming stories have been culled over the last several years from interviews with Jim's fans. In addition, Jim's co-author, Cindy Pearlman, an entertainment columnist for the New York Times Wire Service and the Chicago Sun-Times, has asked major celebrities from the film and music world to tell their own love stories and explain how they've defied the odds to make love last. Celebrities who have shared their stories include Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt, Jeff Bridges, Lauren Bacall, Barbara Streisand, Heather Locklear, Paul Newman, Angelina Jolie, and many others. As you read this book--and listen to the enclosed CD featuring beautiful music by Jim Brickman--you'll be inspired to create your own lasting love stories.
