"A beautiful damsel in distress. A starry-eyed young idealist. Their paths cross when they become unlikely participants in a training programme. Had she not been married, it would have been love at first sight. Had she not been abused, their friendship would never have grown into love. But grow it did, and grow and grow and grow. Desperate, intimate, passionate love. Every moment on the edge of oblivion. Every goodbye too close to the bone. She, going back into the fury. He, into the maelstrom of foreboding. What happens when unspeakable vice collides with unwavering virtue? What happens when Love stands before the Judgment Seat of God?" Gary Wilson is a Canadian, born and raised in Calgary. Having been witness to the vicious spousal abuse of a dear friend in the mid-'90s, he found his life as a promising law student taking a dire left turn when the authorities charged him with the killing of her husband. In 2001 he was convicted of homicide by a Texas court of law and sent to prison, remaining there until 2006. Today he lives with his wife and children in Calgary where he is a business owner.
