"Part Peyton Place, part Harlequin Romance and part Twilight Zone...you just can't make this stuff up. Linda and Ray's journey in search of love and family makes for an inspiring, engrossing and ultimately satisfying read. A story both heart warming and life affirming with more twists than a Chubby Checker album. You will fall in love." - Bob Segarini www.fyimusic.ca
"Next up is First True Love, a 200+ page autobiography that details everything from their teen romance to the many lost years and eventual reunion in their home town." - Brian Kelly, The Sault Star
