About this audiobook
Many of us cling to our fantasies about how life and people should be. When we find someone who matches our dreams, there is an instant excitement, along with the feeling that we are in love. When reality enters the picture, however, disappointment arises. FALLING IN LOVE WITH A FANTASY explores the dangers of living this way and explores the difference between real and counterfeit love. As we do we become able to find and live with the real thing.
