Love Trilogy comes to a close with plenty of
romance, sass, sex, duty, loss, and healing
Volume III of Bruce K Beck’s Love Trilogy, AND LOVE ENDURES
New York, New York. December 1, 2018
After a decade-and-a-half in a solid relationship, our narrator begins to feel his life with Bobby is in a downward spiral. As his relationship with his precious mate becomes increasingly difficult, he has to make some choices: Can he heal Bobby? Can he heal himself? Can they go on together? And, if not, then what could life possibly become? Old friends—and new friends—help our narrator find his way as he gradually discovers new life, new love, and even some new responsibilities beyond his wildest imaginings.
AND LOVE ENDURES is Volume III of Bruce K Beck’s Love Trilogy. It follows the original couple readers met in Volume I, YOU’RE SURE TO FALL IN LOVE, and rejoined—a decade later—in Volume II, LOVE AND THE EPIDEMIC. Beck lovingly brings their story to its conclusion with heartache and hope in equal measure. Readers of Volumes I and II will welcome the resolution, and all readers will be moved by the tenderness Beck feels for the narrator and his story. As always, the writing is crisp, funny, irreverent, honest, and sexy. And the storytelling has matured—just as surely as the characters have.
Praise for Volume I:
“Bruce K Beck’s debut novel brings us a naturally gifted and richly imaginative storyteller whose characters leap off the page. YOU’RE SURE TO FALL IN LOVE sweeps us back into a Summer of Love that is sure to remind readers of how it feels to be young and starry-eyed. I didn’t want this book to end.”
—James Gavin (author of Is That All There Is?: The Strange Life of Peggy Lee, and Stormy Weather: The Life of Lena Horn)
Praise for Volume II:
“Bruce K Beck’s LOVE AND THE EPIDEMIC is a beautiful, clear-eyed memory of friends lost to AIDS. Without sentiment, and with deep respect, the narrator remembers their lives vividly and joyfully. Beck brings us to the edge of grief, but at last he helps us see not just loss, but rather the great love and friendship that marked one of our darkest times. The second volume in his trilogy, it can be read on its own, but you will be compelled to read the complete work. If memory is a solace, Beck’s stories are a compelling and human response to what memory allows that is valuable and urgent in history.”
—Philip F Clark, author of The Carnival of Affection
