In Childhood Beginnings, Deserie LaCrosse wrote an interesting romance novel. It told the love story of two childhood lovers, Ron and Andrea (usually called Andi). When they were little, they were neighbors in a town called Glendale, and they really loved each other. Andrea's father worked for Ron's father at that time. They were later separated and didn't stay in touch for years. They missed each other a lot. The separation was arranged without any notice. Ron went on to become a divorcee of two separate women, and Andi became a widow. One would not wish to have their kind of individual love stories. After fifty years, they had an opportunity to meet again at Ron's mother's burial. It was a meeting that grew into an adventure filled with a lot of emotions and activities. Read the book to learn more about Ron and Andrea's love life fifty years later.

On the positive side, just like most romance novels out there, the book contained a lot of sexual acts and terms. However, it is worthy of note that though there were descriptions of sex and lovemaking in the book, the author was careful in her choice of words. She made use of mostly biological terms. She gave just enough details for the reader to get a good idea of the act being described. Another point worthy of praise is that the book can give different emotions to different readers depending on the feelings they want to get from it. The pleasure derivable from reading this book is immeasurable. The use of simple but quality grammar in the book was equally a laudable point. It made it easy to understand and flow with the rhythmic pleasure of the book. In the book, one could also see that there was absolutely no introduction of unnecessary characters. Each character came in when needed.

I found nothing to dislike about the book. It was an interesting story filled with a lot of emotions. The reader will indeed be taken on an emotional roller coaster as he reads through the pages of this book. Some descriptions in the book are pleasurable, and the reader will absolutely enjoy those.

The book was exceptionally well edited. I found no spelling or grammatical errors in it. For that reason,
I rate it 4 out of 4 stars. It was written in easily graspable English. The plot of the story was equally well developed. Although it contains a lot of sexual descriptions, that wouldn't be an issue once it is read by the appropriate audience. The age-appropriate audience will be specified below.

I recommend the novel to lovers of romance fiction with lots of lovemaking scenes. I will also state that it is a novel exclusively for adults. It is not for readers below the age of eighteen.

It's sad though that fate played such a bad hand on these two love birds through the best years of life. However, such a renewed love experience at near twilight is a rare one, which many a curious adult would want to read about.

I think I would enjoy books where the author wasn't so careful with the description of sexual activities. I would have loved to let me imaginations go wild.

Ron and Andrea's relationship was caught short by the people around her. I would love to know how the story ended. Were they able to feel love even after been separated for a long time? Thanks for your review.

Wow! What a review that creates suspense that truly one cannot run away from their destiny. Though Ron and Andrea part ways early in life, at fifty years they meet again when both are not tied to any marriage. We wonder if they find the happiness they missed. This suspense is an urge to read it.

A love story like this is touchy. connecting back after 50 years is another big omens prompting question. I will like to know how it ends afterward
Great Job.
