Wayne and Nancy grow up on opposite sides of the country, each certain they must have love richer than what others will settle for. Something stronger, something higher, something worth searching for.

During the turbulent nineteen-sixties, they meet while he is attending blue-collar Drexel, and she is at neighboring, Ivy League Penn. Although irresistibly drawn to each other, they must overcome obstacles posed by the class and social differences separating them, as well as opposition from both families, and later, a twist of fate that will be the cruelest test of all.

Can they reach the emotional altitude they seek? Can they overcome time’s downward pulling inertia? Coinage of Commitment is dedicated to all who ever wondered about the height love can soar to.

“Rob Costelloe has created a very thought provoking book that plays on many levels. Part love story, part social commentary, and part exploration of one mans quest for perfection. The standard of the writing is of the highest quality. He states in his biography that he has been writing since he was 8 years old, and that does not surprise me, he is a skilled and splendid wordsmith. The ending of the book comes with a very strange twist in the tale, and one that will surprise the reader.”  Simon Barrett — Bloggernews.net
