Hearts Entwined

Against all odds, two therapists' lives converge at a romantic California oceanside retreat. In a mere ten days, they forge a bond but have to part. Over the next six months and 2,000 miles apart, their love deepens, as they write 130 love letters. You are invited into their journey of romance. Packed with insight, wisdom, and inspiration, Hearts Entwined, the true story of soulmates and therapists, Kathryn Elliott, Ph.D. and James Elliott, Ph.D., can reignite hope that the romance you long for is still possible and attainable. The 130 letters in Hearts Entwined offer wisdom on: The promise of soulmate love: "Inside you is a great reservoir of magical energies for loving in a deep way, even in a mythic way. We tapped that reservoir. May our letters begin to equip you to have your own mythic love." (Kathy & Jim) Longing for closeness: "You will never overwhelm me with wanting to be with me. For I want to be with you as much as you want to be with me. Come on full blast, girl!" (Jim, March 7, 1989) Not losing yourself in love: I will encourage you at all times to maintain your own identity in the blazing power of our love. And I will not leave you just because you continue to be yourself. I will go on being charmed by your otherness." (Jim, March 1, 1989) On sexuality: "I want to smile my 'totally satisfied woman' smile as the morning sun breaks into the room. And I want you to know that you did that." (Kathy, March 23, 1989) On spirituality: "Shall we pray together about this workshop? Is that what one does when one begins (as I have) to love God?" (Jim, March 28, 1989) On personal growth: "The turmoil you feel is a good sign. It means some old patterns are dying and that new ones are being born. And I cheer you on." (Jim, February 6, 1989)
