Jule Kucera

Sweet Baby Lover: a True Story of Love, Death, and Hope Jule Kucera 1st edition

"This is a love letter, a memoir, a beautiful book about what it means to go on the journey of a lifetime."Seth GodinAuthor
"Trouble with a capital T"--that's what they called Trent Price, and that's all they saw in him.

Jule Kucera had no reason to expect more than the construction work she hired him for. She was older, college educated, professional, affluent, a lifelong achiever . . . and lonely. Trent was a divorced father, a freelance construction worker with a high school diploma, and, due to a learning disability, a slow reader. He was more comfortable in a swamp than in a city. He was scarred, in more ways than one.

But she saw that his eyes were kind and deep, and he saw that she was wounded but wanting. Could they learn to see past the scars and beyond the labels? Could they open themselves to love? And if they did, would that be enough?

This unflinching memoir explores love between two people who have failed at love at least once. It measures the costs of love, the joys of loving, and what can happen when everything changes in a heartbeat.

"I have never felt so deeply like opening my throat and allowing love to pour down it as I did reading your words."
