Description

A brush with death brings the protagonist of Hard To Love face-to-face with his past, drawing him back to his brightest memory: his first love. But those happy recollections come with painful questions that have never been answered. With old wounds still raw and fresh ones yet to heal, he is forced to return to his parents’ home and the dysfunctional family he once left behind. Trapped among the troubles of both past and present, he must confront what love has meant to him—and what it might still become. Why did the woman he loved abandon him and their daughter? Did she ever truly love him? Is she still alive, and does she remember the life they shared? As he searches for the truth, he also faces the possibility of moving forward. A new relationship might lie with a woman he has always admired, one of his partners or friends, or someone else entirely. Yet he cannot ignore another path: devoting the rest of his life to raising his daughter well. Follow his efforts to uncover long-buried truths, put past mistakes right, and make sense of an uncertain romantic future. At the heart of Hard To Love is a deeply personal struggle between holding on and letting go, with his daughter’s well-being remaining a responsibility he cannot afford to neglect.
