While I'm Still Myself

A passionate December love affair. The meeting of an unexpected traveler. The consequences of protecting a young new acquaintance. A journey into an unknown past.

In the stories of While I'm Still Myself, Jeremy Lane eloquently describes the life-changing impact of the brief encounter, showing that life and love are not shaped by an entire lifetime, but by the fleeting moments with unexpected people in unexpected places.
