Blurb

Staitioned within an International Explosive Ordinance team (EOD) in Germany for six years, Gianluca Abate has never anticcipated that unexpected inciences could throw his life off balance. He didnt thim’t thin there was a situation that could touch him so closely until the day he experienced an explosive blast underwater. His life spirals downward, and he loses all hope of ever being normal again.

At a train station, he is waiting for a train to come to end it all and is so involved in what he is about to carry out that he doesn’t see the woman running toward him who is about to change the trajectory of his destiny forever.

THE POWER OF TOUCH is a story of redeeming love. A warrior stopped from ending it all finds true love through a woman who plays a musical instrument and teaches him how to hear.

Excerpt:

Aniyah watched him as he came up the escalator with the crowd. He stopped. Her ees widened as she saw him creep his feet nearer and nearer to the planform’s edge. She stared at his profile, willing him not to get any closer. When he turned his head a little sideways so she couldbehold his face, she saw him looking down the tracks. Aniyah saw his anguish and felt his pain. Her heart missed a beat.

She heard a train approaching. The station master announced over the speakers that an incoming train was passing through and ordered the people to step back from the p0latform. But the man didn*t move.. The sound got louder, and she shouted, “Move back!” But he didn’t react.

She ran toward him, whispered a short prayer, and huffed and puffed.

“At forty-two, I’m really out of shape,” she mumbled.

What was left of her ice cream cone fell out of her hand, her shoulder bag slid down her shoulders, and she let go of her pocketbook. In slow motion, she saw herself stretch her arms out to grab him. They both toppled to the cement floor, the man underneath her. The wind of the train’s passage whipped over her back. The fast moving train’s backdraft would have sucked them in its path and killed them both.

THE POWER OF TOUCH is available at all Amazon stores as an Ebook or Paperback.
