The Love of Gary Russell

The Love of Gary Russell is the second book by high school author Guy R. Valentine. Gary Russell was a man plagued by his own feelings—his feelings of love for a woman not his wife. Suffering from dreams about her, he finds himself slipping deeper into a depression. Gary begins a journey to win the love of this woman, all the while fighting his morality and his conscience about his decisions and his relationship to his wife. He lives in a world on his own, fighting a battle that he seemingly cannot win. As his relationship with his dream love escalates further, his depression apparently fades, but his attitude grows sour towards his obligations. In the end, what will a man's desire do? Will he remain happy, or will he destroy everything he has?
