BEYOND ABSOLUTE LOVE
This fast-paced romantic drama veers from the modeling world of NYC to the misty hinterlands of Switzerland and India. Teenage Cornelia Woodstock supports both herself and her mother as a successful but unfulfilled model. After a painful betrayal, she flees NYC and reconnects with her father. They travel together to India where Hadji, her childhood love, presides over their shared cult. After the tragic double loss of her father and unborn child, she falls even deeper in love with Hadji and the traditions of India.
Painful decisions about life, love, and death follow. Will she abandon the cult in which she grew up? Will she follow love's call? It's a difficult journey where she learns that no matter where she may travel, her ultimate responsibility is to be true to herself.
“Lucretia Bingham observes the world with a painter’s eye and a good friend’s sensitivity to subtle shifts of mood, and has a special gift for evoking the landscapes in which her characters live and love - those framed by pines or palms as well as those defined by passion and obsession.”
— Colman Andrews, Founder and former Editor-in-Chief of Saveur Magazine.
