This evocative narrative weaves together medical insights, psychological analyses, philosophical musings, and spiritual reflections to explore the theme of love: the core and essence of our very being, the perpetual yearning of our deepest true self. As fashioned in and after Love's image and likeness, love ever seeks its fulfilment; and the closer touched, the stronger it draws, as seeking its own perfected end. And from the joyous foretasting sips here, the measure of contentment of future fulness may wisely be guessed at. And since the subconscious depths of the heart are surfaced by crises such as war, its study then is particularly instructive, namely of true feeling, humanity, compassion - as of a different level and type of happiness. Set against the backdrop of wartime Germany, the story centres on two interconnected families. One family endures the harsh realities of urban warfare, while in a rural setting, a grandfather discovers four Jewish children and a French outcast hiding in the woods. He hides them on his farm. Naturally, relationships developed and bloomed. Among these, however, one relationship fails tragically, the loss leading to a poignant journey of desperately seeking solace - culminating in an encounter with Sarah. This book is not just a tale of love of some common peoples' joys and sorrows but a quest to better understand the very nature of the human heart and its profound, universal principles.
