Unusual Love

It started out as a chance meeting through online dating, but became an unbelievable example of Unusual Love, which is the title for author William Vance's new memoir. William had just endured a very trying time with his former wife, Anne Marie, who had dissolved their marriage through her addictions to gambling, leading to a divorce. So, when William decided to look into online dating, he was mainly looking for just casual companionship with a female and see where it would go. He soon connected with Cynthia, one who was divorced herself and dealing with severe family issues. Their conversations became more serious and intimate to where William asked Cynthia to come to Pennsylvania and marry him, to which she agreed. But their matrimonial bliss would be changed forever when a devastating car accident led to both enduring painful injuries and Cynthia's memory and personality begin to decline. The situation was further complicated when Cynthia's sister took Cynthia away from William to live in another state, causing the confusion to worsen Cynthia's already evaporating memory. Yet through it all, William stayed faithful to God and to Cynthia, which is what drew him to write of their love story. He wanted others to know of how amazing their love was, as well as how evident it was God's fingerprints were all over their lives and love. Even when each visit had Cynthia forgetting more of the love she had with William, William is convinced that God allowed them to keep having time together to keep their love alive until Cynthia gave her breathless last words of "I love you" to William. William and Cynthia's love story is not a typical love story everyone has, but just like our love story with God is not typical but unusual and wonderful, the same can be said for theirs. William Vance was a machinist most of his life, a professional scout, and a worker in big brothers of America association. Loves to read, this is my first book Unusual Love. Always loved writing. Working on writing a sequel. I have two children, a boy and a girl, as well as two grandsons.
