Fountain of Love

Book excerpt: Leon has counseled many young people regarding relationships and discovered that a vast majority of them are really looking for true love, but cannot find that special someone. It is out of this context that this book was given birth. Life is full of twists and turns, but with a stroke of spiritual luck, love comes knocking at the door when one least expects it. Fountain of Love perfectly depicts this idea. It is a story about two college students from different worlds whose paths cross, and it was love at first sight. It is replete with life situations that reflect sacrifice, true love, humility, disappointment, and endurance. What grabs the attention of the reader in the beginning of the story is the clash between the Ivy League school and a historically black college. The main character transferred from Harvard University to Jackson State University because he was certain that the young lady he met there is the woman God chose just for him. Their paths crossed at a water fountain, and their lives were never the same.
