  • Through the Window on Feb. 09, 2013

    A potpourri of life in England during and post WWll. Exciting opening scenes of espionage and intrigue followed by a lull of ambition and a period of healing for the lead character. Enter Romance and a dog who becomes the connection between the couple who sees each other through a window of the same large house. The human failings of jealousy and power abuse cause the couple to separate for a period of two years ...one staying in England and the other traveling to Hong Kong. The tale is not without moral lessons. Sometimes what seems to be the worst thing that could happen in life is, in the end, the best. The leading character portrays a power that lies within all of us -- to build and rebuild---if, we are at out core survivors.
