title: A Godsend: A Love Story for Grownups
author: Dalma Heyn
description: <DIV>Does love as we once knew it still exist? In our age of <I>Twitter</I>, <I>Match.com</I>. texting, sexting, iPhones and <I>Facebook</I>, can two adults - he a West Coast book anthologist, she a Vermont maple sugar farmer - fall in love the old-fashioned way, through meeting, attraction, lust, adversity, resolution? No, says Jove, God of Gods. Yes, says his son, the God of Love, whose career depends on it. Jove allows him only one intervention to effectuate the passionate, iffy romance between Evan Cameron and Eve Golyakovsky, whose life experiences make them wary of giving themselves to one another, and he blows it. Because of an ice storm that threatens to destroy Eves maple trees, and Evans ex-girlfriends illness that compels him to take her in, their love for each other is about to implode. The God of Love is now powerless to intercede. But the soul of a man and the heart of a woman are stronger even than the will of the Gods, and the result is a love story for this day and for time immemorial. <br></DIV>
