A Year Without April

"Love, is a tyrannical and uninvited house guest who turns your world upside down, throwing you, along with everything else in your life, into utter chaos, and yet once it leaves, you can't help but wish it would've stayed just a little bit longer..."

So is the claim of Miles Graham, a one time dogmatic devotee to the playboy lifestyle, as he recounts in the most graphic of detail his one ongoing brutal, loathsome and oftentimes hilarious vendetta against Love, that most common of all emotions that he not so affectionately refers to at the lunacy of the human heart.

His tale begins on the day that love launches an all out, full scale assault on his unsuspecting heart in the form of the serendipitous introduction of the enigmatic April Nesbitt, a woman who upon first laying eyes on forces Miles to completely transform his life and forever abandon his treasured path toward becoming a modern day Casanova, and plunge heart first, head nowhere to be found, into an intense and passionate love affair that seems authored to exist among the celestial bodies in the night sky.

But just as Miles begins to make plans, on where to register the china and what to name the many rug rats he is destined to have with April, a funny thing happens on the way to happily ever after. As suddenly as love entered into his life is as abruptly as it exits, without any explanation, leaving his heart shattered beyond repair.

Vowing to win "his" April back and conquer Love once and for all, Miles ventures on a vexing odyssey where the lines of love and obsession blur, where crazy in love turns into certifiably crazy, where long time friends turn into present day pariahs, and where the ultimate question of what it means to love and be loved, have some very surprising answers at journey's end.

Ultimately revealing powerfully what we all need to know at some time or another, that it hasn't been too long, that your situation isn't unprecedented, and that you aren't weak or abnormal. You simply have the same exact problem as everyone else, you're human!
