Author of Love is All | Donna Hewlett

LOVE IS ALL tells the story of Jayne Thompson—a devoted wife, mother, and part-time librarian whose life takes an unexpected turn. After receiving a shocking cancer diagnosis, Jayne makes a daring choice to keep her illness a secret and embarks on an unforgettable two-week tour of Europe, a dream long set aside for the sake of others.

As she roams the enchanting streets of Paris, glides through the romantic canals of Venice, and stands before the breathtaking art of Florence, Jayne re-awakens old dreams. Each step forward feeds a passionate reality that stirs a fierce and luminous spirit within her. Along the way, she forges unexpected connections– most profoundly with Mason, a jaded tour guide with a lost belief in love and beauty. Together they forge a bond that reignites his forgotten dreams.

LOVE IS ALL is not just a story about facing mortality; it's a celebration of resilience, joy, and the transformative power of daring to live one's dreams. Join Jayne as she makes a bold choice, redefining what it means to truly live in the moment. This tale will inspire you to chase your dreams, cherish your relationships, and wholeheartedly embrace life's fleeting beauty.

Review

If you like the romance of cities like Paris and Venice, Love is All is for you. Full of beautiful descriptions of art, culture, and the thrill of experiencing these cities through the eyes of new love, the book took me to those places. I loved how the author wove the love story of her characters with that of Elizabeth and Robert Browning—two poets who found love for a brief time. The book reminded me life is short. Putting off the search for love is the recipe for a life of regrets. I had no regrets reading this book! - Holly Richmond, Richmond Literary Services
