'The envelope remained on the table, a bomb fashioned to go off in the ruins of his life...'

Wolo's universe ended in an instant when his pregnant wife Yoma was killed in a tragic car accident. Now, three years later, he has received a letter from Victoria, the woman who was behind the wheel.

His mother insists he destroy it. Their family pastor says it is the work of the devil. But Victoria is asking to meet. Her heart is broken, too.

Mind-expanding, life-affirming and full of hope, Every Story is a Love Story is about the nature of mercy, morality and the inexplicable mysteries of the human heart.
