The Philosophy of Love

As Julia wiped the tears from her face, her friend Joey tried to soothe Julia's concerns. "My Mother once told me something that I've never forgotten-she called it her "philosophy of love." She said there are three kinds of love in one's life: to be loved, to be in love, and to love. The older we get, the more we actually need the last one--to love. It's the most fulfilling and the most lasting. The 'in love' stuff sort of comes and goes." Julia Baldwin is a very attractive 37-year old woman, and a successful lawyer in New York City. But somehow, marriage has eluded her, along with the one thing she wants more than anything-a child. Her world is about to crisscross with that of Will Fleming, a struggling actor just trying to make ends meet. Love, or a kid, is the last thing Will is looking for after losing his beloved fiancée to cancer less than a year ago. The possibility that two people so different could find anything in common makes no sense. But then, there is nothing logical about love. The Philosophy of Love is a story that will touch your heart, and your funny bone, in ways that you never expect. It's a story about some people grabbing hold, and others letting go.
