20 Great Heartbreak Romance Novels
THE HOUSE ON BLACK LAKE has been adapted to screenplay. Go to Home Page to view provocative trailer filmed by acclaimed cinematographer.
Although I would not consider my novel a tear jerker, the characters are tormented and fight to overcome the pain of heartbreak throughout the story. It is the struggle to overcome heartbreak that generally leads to transformative change. Sometimes it is refreshing to experience the intense struggles of others to know that we are not alone in experiencing life's disappointments, tragedies, and thwarted passions. A good cry is therapeutic, an internal cleansing of sorts.
