"John
Herbert's memoir, Rules Get Broken, is an elegant, poignant story about
lost love and found love. John's journey will make you laugh and make you
cry. Most of all it will make
you think as the author explores society's unwritten taboo about how long
a person must grieve before it is acceptable to find happiness with
another. A marvelous read about the courage to follow one's heart." Elaine
