BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Jan. 21, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- The absence of a loved one can inflict painful wounds on both the heart and the soul. At first, loneliness is felt. Then as time passes, loneliness turns into pain and despair that eventually become too unbearable. This is the theme behind an emotional story of desire and desperation imagined by author Fred Ephraim as Xlibris releases his compelling new book Kelsey's Quest.
Kelsey's Quest tells the dramatic story about one woman who wishes to get her husband back and their family life moving forward. Readers will meet Kelsey, a lady who has grown weary and frustrated waiting for her husband Michael to mature through a problematic early marriage, and through his service in an unpopular war in Iraq. Despite the pain, she continues waiting for him. When he arrives home however, things change for the worse when Michael, now a confused and wounded man, decides to go to California to clear his head, leaving Kelsey, their daughters and farm behind. Frustrated more than ever, Kelsey goes out after Michael to bring him back to the family unaware that a life-altering adventure awaits them both. Will she succeed? Read the book to find out what happens.
