Summary

Unquenched Thirst is the erotic story of love, passion, and intense emotion between two people who, after spanning 50 years of diverse existences, living lives poles apart, reunite. What separates this book from other tales of erotica is that Unquenched Thirst is nonfiction. Both elegant and intellectual, it is also autobiographical, something rarely found in this genre. The story unfolds, communicating the journey of two people who have not spoken or seen each other for 50 years, and steadily builds to a crescendo as told alternately by one man and one woman. Their high school romance fizzled, but the woman never forgot the crush she had on the man. There was a constant lingering ache she could not erase. A crush that never went away. By a quirk of fate, 50 years later, complicated man meets complex woman. Together they attempt to create a bond that will patch up glaring gaps, rips and tears in each others emotional psyches. They do not know if they can. Neither has a romantic involvement in their lives, romance seems too much effort. Both still work, come home and live in solitude except for their pets. She has several dogs and a cat. He has two cats. She insists she is not in a rut but instead in a comfort zone. He does not play mental games. He sees his life stalled at a dead end. Suddenly their modicum of contentment turns into a roller-coaster ride full of excitement and emotion leading to a topsy-turvy period of adjustment. With each conversation, each meeting together, passion flows. Far from being a quintessential love story, an array of emotions are found on every page as the man and woman search for a second chance. The journey does not come easy. Now after 50 years will they be able to achieve the love they could not find in high school or will they destroy each other trying?
