Romantic, comedic, and mysterious in places, these memoirs are peopled with quirky characters, in the opinion of one reviewer.
Each chapter allows a glimpse into the lives of Robert and Virginia Taylor, starting from their births; he born in London, England during World War II and Virginia, two months after Pearl Harbor into a Spanish-speaking Mexican American family in small-town Abilene, West Texas.
Their stories play out in parallel some 5,000 miles apart.
High school teachers deem it essential to know that Parallel Lines can never meet, but say nothing of Parallel Lives. These delightful memoirs illustrate the fact that that, in the author's words Parallel Lives can converge, and merge and become as one, and he thanks the Lord for that.
Forty years into their lives, the couple meet unexpectedly in a barber shop on the north side of Houston. Their lives draw together and their stories merge to become their own fascinating true-life love story.
