You Caught Me Kissing: A Love Story

I have the pleasure of knowing the author, Dorothy Bridges. I knew her years ago when she and Lloyd had a home in Bear Valley, Ca. I waitied on them often at the grocery store where I was a checker. They held hands as they shopped. They are and were a love story, this book is very touching. She and I loved to chat so she always came through my line at the store. She was the star in my eyes, I feel honored to know this awesome mother and wife...she raised stars, literally! Dorothy if you ever read this, hello from Jude from Applewood Market! I now live in Oregon on the coast and it was a pleasure reading your book! :)

This gem of a book is such an inspiration. It contains many lessons - that true love is worth waiting for and that everlasting love is the best kind. Too many negative influences today make people quick to judge, quick to give up, and always striving to out-do. That is why this book is so wonderful. It is like a candle in the darkness - taking the concept of love and of Valentines Day then showing the progress made by true love. Whether times were up or down, their love endured. I challenge anyone to read the very first poem "Moon Signs" and to not have a tear. Even if a first love did not work out (like it happens for most everybody), this poem brings back those memories of when one first feels the pull of love. Even though for most lovers, heartache comes first, then the true love ("the one") come along, these story-poems are worth reading because it makes one realize that the true love can be the one that lasts - and that it is worth it. This book is wonderful. Truly a treasure. Valerie Atkinson Brown Author, International Thomson Publishing

What impressed me most about this book was how open Dorothy was in sharing her amazing life long love with Lloyd through poetry and photos, so that we can all smile while being given a glimpse at what a great love is. I appreciate her honesty in telling us that it wasn't always easy, but it was always worthwhile. Thank you Dorothy for such an enjoyable, personal book.

I once read this poem which described what true love looks like in one stanza: Love me, sweet, with all thou art, Feeling, thinking, seeing--- Love me in the lightest part, Love me in full being.

sweet and sentimental, filled with lovely photos of the bridges family. nice gift book for valentine's day
