This is a true story. The names of the principles are their real ones. All other characters are real, but their names have been changed.
The most compelling reason these authors are eminently qualified to write this book is it's their story, their experience, and their resounding success. There's no hypothesizing, no extrapolation, and no theorizing because the results stand as their own testimony. The qualities or, if we may, skills that enabled the writers to achieve this success were learned over years of notable non-success and observation of others in failed interpersonal relationships - the School of Hard Knocks and Heartache. While the authors hastily agree that institution doesn't always graduate with honors, in this case and because of their application to earlier lessons, the results were outstanding. The lessons may appear subtle, but they're all there in print for the reader to see for herself.
The writers have learned their literary basics. For 14 years, Tom wrote for Radio. Liz not only did the day-to-day of office correspondence, but was a believer in the principle that a friend or loved one always prefers a letter to a phone call. Hence, with the ten per cent of the communications tool box that's available in the written word, they succeed remarkably.
Past Hurts Healed and Big Truck are fictional works by these authors.

Why the authors believe this volume will be a valuable addition to your library.
At first glance the book looks like what it is, an exchange of over 200 emails between two people who meet on opposite sides of the world. It's self-explanatory, unfolding the manner and pace of how Tom Q. MacClintock and Liz Mudge meet on the Internet and build a solid relationship that is the basis of a great marriage. Quite accidental, but rather fateful, the way they met is today no strange thing. Tens of thousands correspond in this rapid way, yet not many happen upon a soulmate in the doing.
Liz and Tom exchange emails and find before very long that not only are they intellectually, mentally and cerebrally compatible; their temperaments match and they are also emotionally linked in a way neither can ignore or give up.
In this sense, Hearts That Cross an Ocean has a very appropriate appeal to the eavesdropper in all of us - indeed, these lovers are honored that you would read their mail! Soon, however, we see a romance tale with the page-turning compulsion of a novel. The problems that arise are the stuff of real life of ordinary people and, as such, are far more fascinating than anything a fiction writer could devise. In that same reasoning, since these authors, unlike fiction writers, didn't plot the adversities that nearly tripped them up, their ways of working and loving together to overcome, stand as inspiration to lovers everywhere.
To people who wonder how to make theirs a happier marriage, people in love who may be wondering if their partner's the right one, and single people trying to avoid another disaster, Hearts That Cross an Ocean shows how one couple navigated those uncertainties.
To everyone at the precipice, we say, "follow us. We'll be honored to show you the way!"
Liz and Tom Q. MacClintock
