Love's Seasons

This is a gentle, sometimes sexy, traditional romantic love story. A girl, Meri, with a long-held dream to go to university, has been thrown out onto the streets, near to Christmas, by her drunken mother. Desperate, she resolves to prostitute herself to survive. A chance meeting with a young professor, Tom, saves Meri from selling sex, and soon leads to a close friendship. As the year advances, Meri and Tom, realising they are soul mates, have growing feelings for each other. On Easter Sunday, surrounded by the magnificent scenery of North Bay on the East Coast, for the first time, they openly proclaim their love. Enjoying a glorious summer, Meri and Tom explore their ever-deepening relationship, marrying just before the autumn term at university begins. Together, Tom returns to work, and Meri fulfils her dream to study chemistry. The story ends, back at Christmas time, with a surprise twist
