One love, many tears

cynthia never knew that love could be free and whole until she came across love in its purest form. battered and embittered by unfortunate experiences even from a very tender age, she was hardened and lonely, sad and in a shell.paul and edmond are men who define their own qualities and create their own world. standing out in their own unique mixes of strengths, wealth, and good looks; it was more than just those qualities, and rather it's the trueness of their good hearts that will have either of them breaking through cynthia's walls successfully. paul's love was soul-tearing, edmond's mind-splitting.one love, many tears is an expansive collection of hatred, greed, murder, apathy, poverty, and hypocrisy; yet it is a symphony of love, refinement, power, self-identity, passion, and altruism. all beautifully harmonized in one piece! a must-read.
