First Person Singular by Wendy Braitman

I remember being mesermized and enchanted by Richard Bach’s “Bridge Across Forever” way back when I was a studen. BAF is Bach’s tale of how he met and fell in love with and married his “soulmate.” Bach’s(author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull)writing leans heavily towards the fanciful and new-ageyish, but my young self was totally sucked in by his tale of Deep True Cosmic Eternal Love. Bach wrote a couple more best selling books about his adventures with his Soulmate, which I also devoured, though none were as good as BAF. A number of years later, I happened to read an article about Bach and discovered that he had divorced Soulmate #1 (who, it should be noted he married after divorcing his first wife, who I guess had the misforune of not meeting the requirements of Eternal Cosmic Soulmate(TM))and had found (apparently) Soulmate #2, who was much younger than Soulmate #1. I remember being irrationally furious with him when I heard that. As fanciful as it was, he had part of me believing that fairy tale could be true. Hugh, reading this back, if I did not know better, it sounds like I am *still* pissed off about it!
