i bought a copy of this book way back in the early 80's. it is full of very inspirational love poems that can relate even today. i know even the teenagers of today will love it and even the young once. i hope mr. schaffer will write another book like this one. more power.

Ulrich Schaffer relates very well and thoroughly to young people who might be discovering love and the hard times that go along with it. Reading this book doesn't take very long; it is more like reading some one's journal and can be read in fractions more than once or twice.

A college friend loaned this book to me in the late 1980's. I was so moved by the poems that I typed out several of them to keep, neglecting to note the author. Those typewritten pages have stayed with me for fifteen years. Finally, through Amazon.com Marketplace, I've been able to purchase a copy for myself, and the entire book is as wonderful as I remembered. The poetry, about growth, risk, pain, ambiguity and God, is simple but heartfelt. The accompanying photography is beautiful as well. I highly recommend this book to anyone who lives a life of Spirit, but who finds him- or herself in challenging times.
