This book was inspired by one thing: one of my favorite books as a child. This book is a symbolic story of a man and a woman and their struggles. They each have their own stories, which start from opposite sides of the book. This is a "flip the book over" book, which means you read one story from one way of the book and when you get to the middle, you flip the book over and read the other story from the other side. When the stories get to the middle, you will realize how they "meet in the middle" revealing a wonderful complete story.
